I'm new to XML and handling whitespace seems to be an unresolved issue.
You might want to look up the "xml:space" attribute, and "whitespace normalization" (e.g., XPath 1.0)
Is this behavior by design?
Yes. Note that the name is "toprettyxml" not just "dump" or "print" -- it's designed to make the output pretty, not to make the output be exactly like the input.
