[jdom-interest] SVG not honoring equally spaced characters including spaces

[hill0093]

I noticed on an SVG forum xml: before space="preserve",
so I tried it and got the adjacent spaces viewed by an SVG 
viewer and also edited by the picture editor. The following works:

<text x="3.0" y="211.0">
<tspan xml:space="preserve">   here  is     what   I want  </tspan></text>

but the following without xml: does not work:

<text x="3.0" y="211.0">
<tspan space="preserve">   here  is     what   I want  </tspan></text>

The trouble now is that JDOM will not let me insert xml:, 
the following won't work when running the java program using 
JDOM because JDOM won't allow colons.

tspanNode.setAttribute("xml:space","preserve");
