#25170: assertXMLEqual fails when white space is present outside XML fragment

Currently this test fails:
{{{#!python
class MyTestCase(TestCase):
def test_xml(self):
self.assertXMLEqual('<greeting>hello</greeting>',
'<greeting>hello</greeting>\n')
}}}
I believe this is a bug because white space outside root tag should not
matter. It makes testing rather confusing when reading XML documents from
files (which may or may not have trailing new line characters).
