Well, fair enough, I suppose, as it is true that it is a bit of a hack. Perhaps you could advise me if there might be a hacky workaround that would accomplish what I want. If I declare the extwrapper element with <!ATTLIST extwrapper xml:space (default|preserve) #FIXED 'preserve'> and use another tool to perform the indentation, will XXE still fill and wrap the element or its children? I'm not sure if the xml:space preserve would even propagate to the children (I suspect not). @alex
