The method looks at a single Text node individually, not across multiple Text node boundaries.

That's why the javadoc also says:
"Finally, note that this method's whitespace pruning is appropriate for many, but not all XML use cases (round-tripping)"

• XOMUtil: Added a node factory that ignores Text nodes that consist of whitespace only.

The JavaDoc says, "This method fully preserves narrative text containing whitespace along with other characters." Does it really do this? If so, how? The tricky case here is this:

<p><strong>Hello</strong> <em>World!</em></p>

Does this factory know that the space in the above is significant?
