This is the common misconception.
The so called *ignorable white space* is only defined in a context of DTD 
(http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#sec-white-space) validation: "A validating XML 
processor must also inform the application which of these characters constitute 
white space appearing in element content."

However, XML Schema specification does not define *white space* nor requires 
processors to signal a white space. 

The DOM Level 3 Core (http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-DOM-Level-3-Core-
20020409/core.html#Text3-isWhitespaceInElementContent) was trying to address 
this issue and for now the agreement within the Working group is that 
ignorableWhitespace is set only if validating against DTD.

If you feel that it is useful to make isWhitespaceInElementContent more 
generic, please send your comments/usecases to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list 
(http://www.w3.org/Mail/). Since the DOM Level 3 is a Working Draft the changes 
are still possible.
