It looks to me like you may be confusing whitespace in an element and the
whitespace surrounding tags.  There is an option to not preserve whitespace
*within* elements, otherwise that whitespace is preserved.  As for the
outputting of the tags, this is higly controllable with the Outputter.  To
my knowledge, the exact format of the original whitespace between elements
is not preserved, nor does the xml spec required that.
