Ignoring whitespace isn't a good option, because my server-side 
program doesn't ignore whitespace.

The script you wrote causes a parse error, because the script itself 
is in a CDATA section.

 Also, would think you would be able to create a cdata node by doing
 something like this:
 var cdata:XML = new XML(![CDATA[ + s  + ]]);

Hello,
  I am saving some text from a string into a XML element.
  For example:
 
  var s:String = Hello ;
  var xml:XML = root{s}/root;
 
  I would like the following to happen:
  trace(xml); // prints Hello  (without quotes)
 
  Unfortunately, E4X trims the whitespace. I would like my XML 
object
  to be root![CDATA[{s}]]/root so that the space (maybe?)
  wouldn't be trimmed, but I cannot use a CDATA block since it 
occurs
  inside a mx:Script![CDATA[ ... ]]/mx:Script already.
 
  Is there a way to add a CDATA block to an E4X XML object?
 
  P.S. As a workaround, I can escape() the string before adding it,
  and unescape() afterwards, but this seems ugly and loses the 
human-
  readability.

Wow, don't I feel like an idiot for missing that one. I'll give it a 
try.  Thanks!
