You might want to look into the techniques that were used in the Jivan project ( http://www.jivan.org/ ). Jivan isn't directly applicable to your needs since its purpose is to load HTML files into an HTML DOM. However, its writer copies non-modified parts of the DOM tree directly from the original template. Only modified parts of the DOM lose their original formatting. So, copy the techniques and roll your own.

Colleagues:
Does anyone know if it is possible to use Xerces to parse the input file in such a way that all, or most of the formatting is captured and can be reproduced via serialization ? Is XNI appropriate method for this ? We would love to know about
experiences with parse/serialization approaches that have a greater infoset than that provided by SAX and DOM, especially related to ignorable whitespace and attributes ordering/whitespace. We are editing XML and want to preserve the file as much as possible.
