Yes, I mean the whitespace issue.

I need to use XMLOutputter as a pretty-printer, and the patched
XMLOutputter should do the trick.  (Currently I have to keep track of
whether the document already contains indentation and new lines -- or
not.)

Q: Wouldn't it be preferable in some cases to also enhance the builder
side to optionally remove whitespace?

Do you mean the whitespace issue?  If you want the XMLOutputter to
trim whitespace from text nodes, then apply my patch and call
xo.setTrimText(true) -- then it will look the same no matter how the
source was "formatted".
