It seems that your document was "changed/modified" a little bit (after decryption). By modified, I mean, that it was "pretty printed". This:
<a><b>some text</b></a> was changed into: <a> <b>some text</b> </a> Code "getElementsbyTagName.item(0).getFirstChild().getValue()" returns first node and in your case it is (node type is "text") space (32 in ASCII table), tab (9 in ASCII table), new line character (10 in ASCII table) or carriage return (13 in ASCII table). Your problem have nothing to do with XML decryption. You need to set preserveWhiteSpace(true) or something similar to your XML parser (Xerces, MSXML...) and force it not to do pretty printing.
