Hi,

XML standard says that you have to use xml:space attribute to specify
what to do with white spaces in an element. There are two possible
values for this attribute:

- preserve: keep all white spaces (including leading and trailing)

- default: do whatever you wish with white space; this usually includes
collapsing white spaces.

I don't know if intltool is aware of this attribute, but it is obviously
acting as if 'default' or nothing at all was specified.

Regards,
Rodolfo
