When you pretty print, XOM assumes it can muck with the white space. You 
could probably override writeEndTag to add an extra line after certain 
elements. E.g.

protected void writeEndTag(Element element) {
  super.writeEndTag(element);
  if (element.getLocalName().equals("device")) {
    breakLine();
  }
}
