XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Elliotte Rusty Harold <elharo AT ibiblio.org>]

Do you have a minimal example that demonstrates your issue? The default
setting  should preserve all significant white space including ignorable
white space and boundary white space. If you told the serializer to adjust
white space, e.g. by setting a max line length; all bets are off.
