XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Wolfgang Hoschek <whoschek AT lbl.gov>]

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)"
