Russell,
  thank you for the advice.
I tried this approach but it does not seem to work.
Did you try to use this method?

Even if this would work the problem of white spaces
procesing in outputter remains. I still think it is a
bug and should be fixed. If the outputter trashes the
whitespaces while normalization it should do this with
all whitespaces.

For those who needs this fix now - one workaround for
this problem is to use stylesheet to reformat output. 
I'm interested in fixing the JDom outputter.
