That really seems to be a problem with libxml2. I wonder if there is a flag that we can set that will eliminate this 
behavior. Failing that we could fix it in the CXML* layer too.

Any suggestions?

i was in a hurry so i just removed the extra blank space and line breaks before
passing the string to the CXMLDocument initWithXMLString: initializing function.

i have never used libxml2 at a low level before. sorry.

The libxml2 function "xmlKeepBlanksDefault" seems to control this behavior. But from reading of it I'm not 100% 
clear how we should progress.

My vote is for keeping current behavior.
