--------------------------------------
as you guessed, I'm ramping up. I realize I can use SVN to get the version of
this file that the patch was done against, so I'll take a look.

> CasToInlineXml adds indentation between adjacent XML elements. E.g. for a
> single character document with a single annotation covering that one
> character, it will write:
> {noformat}
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> <Document>
> <uima.tcas.DocumentAnnotation sofa="Sofa" begin="0" end="1"
> language="x-unspecified">
> <uima.tcas.Annotation sofa="Sofa" begin="0" end="1">
> </uima.tcas.Annotation>
> </uima.tcas.DocumentAnnotation>
> </Document>
> {noformat}
> I think it should instead write everything in a single line, that is:
> {noformat}
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> <Document><uima.tcas.DocumentAnnotation sofa="Sofa" begin="0" end="1"
> language="x-unspecified"><uima.tcas.Annotation sofa="Sofa" begin="0" end="1">
> </uima.tcas.Annotation></uima.tcas.DocumentAnnotation></Document>
> {noformat}
> I believe this could be fixed by replacing the line:
> {noformat}
> XMLSerializer sax2xml = new XMLSerializer(byteArrayOutputStream);
> {noformat}
> with the line:
> {noformat}
> XMLSerializer sax2xml = new XMLSerializer(byteArrayOutputStream, false);
> {noformat}
> I think it's a bug that CasToInlineXml is changing the character offsets, but
> I would also be happy if there was an alternate constructor or a method on
> CasToInlineXml that allowed disabling the formatting.
