XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Michael Kay <mike AT saxonica.com>]

>This is your problem. When you use setIndent and/or setMaxLength you 
are telling the serializer to pretty print. I.e. you are telling it that 
it should modify the white space so you have a certain line length and 
indenting. If you want to preserve white space, don't do that. Absent 
instructions to the contrary, XOM will preserve white space in text nodes.

The message here seems to be that XOM indentation is more aggressive 
than XSLT indentation, which only adds whitespace before or after start 
and end tags.
