I think it still removes significant white space, compared to the original:
http://makeashorterlink.com/?R46E12694
or
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/libxmlplusplus/libxml%2b%2b/e
xamples/dom_read_write/example.xml?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-ma
rkup

If we don't know how to fix this then, yes, we should try it in pure libxml
