AW: [jdom-interest] SAXBuilder inserts unwanted carriage return

[Jason Hunter]

With your outputter you're asking for indention and whitespace to be
added.  But if your document already has that, then you're going to end
up with too much indentation and too much whitespace.  The default
settings on XMLOutputter are what you want if the data came
pre-formatted.  You can use the DUF classes to strip the whitespace and
then add it on output.  That's most helpful if you're going to
manipulate the data and change its whitespace and don't want the
whitespace preserved.
