AW: [jdom-interest] Problems with Mixed Content and XMLOutputter

[Jason Hunter]

There's a TRIM_FULL_WHITE format option.  It eliminates all pure 
whitespace text nodes.  If that's the extent of your problem, it could 
work for you.

There's also the NORMALIZE option which is close to HTML rules but not 
exactly.  You're wanting NORMALIZE but without the trim, do you think?
