Those are all side-effects of using MSXML.  It isn't the friendliest at 
maintaining all the previous whitespace and shaping.  A Feature Request seems 
fine but as long as things work, I don't think a bug is appropriate.

Subject: [WiX-users] Features of XmlConfig - can be considered bugs?

Hello WiX developers,

I have been using XmlConfig elements in my installation for some time
and I've noticed a number of things which I qualify as minor bugs:
  1) When you modify an existent attribute of an existent XML element,
it is moved to the end of the element:
     Before <Person Name="John" Lastname="Smith" Age="35"/>
     After  <Person Lastname="Smith" Age="35" Name="Mary"/>

  2) When you modify a self-closing element, it removes the space
between the last attribute and the closing structure:
     Before <Person Name="John" Lastname="Smith" Age="35" />
     After  <Person Lastname="Smith" Age="35" Name="Mary"/>

  3) When you delete an element, it leaves the empty line:
     Before
        <Person Name="John" Lastname="Smith" Age="35" />
        <Person Name="Tony" Lastname="Black" Age="40" />
        <Person Name="Amy" Lastname="White" Age="20" />
     After
        <Person Name="John" Lastname="Smith" Age="35" />

        <Person Name="Amy" Lastname="White" Age="20" />


Can this be registered as minor bugs? There's nothing vitally important
here, just not convenient to diff afterwards...
Thanks.
