If a DTD is present, its read and the information required to make this
decision is present. It doesn't require validation, just a check to see
what type of content model the element has.

| Yes. Write and use a DTD, so the parser knows that A does not contain
mixed
| content. Note that this does not mean that you need to use the validating
| parser.
The Xerces non-validating parser flags ignorable whitespace even when
it's not validating? How does it know? :-)
Be seeing you,
