Or use XSLT directly. I spent a bit of time looking for the C call today and wasn't able to find it. In fact, I doubt there is one, since all space is treated by libxml2 as significant (see [1] and [2]).

As a side-note, I thought one could get, at least partially, to eliminating extra white-space using the XML_PARSE_NOBLANKS (as suggested by Daniel in [1]), but the functionality behind the option seems to have been modified. I recall being able to remove empty nodes (<node/>) from the document being parsed using that option -- that is no longer the case.
