XOM API for Processing XML with Java

No, of course it's not a bug. Although the spec says the whitespace is 
discarded, it also says in 2.3 that a newline is added back in:

Also, a trailing #xA is rendered after the closing PI symbol for PI children 
of the root node with a lesser document order than the document element, and 
a leading #xA is rendered before the opening PI symbol of PI children of the 
root node with a greater document order than the document element.
