Consider

and you'll see that the space between </em> and <b> is important.

If you write a DTD, you can have libxml discard space in "element
only context", i.e. where no text is allowed other than spaces.
But otherwise you'll get all the spaces.

This is a consequence of how XML works, and is not limited to
libxml.
