The non-preservation-of-whitespace issue has been discussed several times in the past. My preference, as already said, is to keep always the whitespace except when an explicit schema allows reformatting. In particular, I find very convenient to keep all the whitespace: 1 - For invalid documents (the "lenient" editing mode) and perhaps also: 2 - For XML documents not constrained by a schema In particular the case (1) is a requirement for using XXE to make corrections on invalid documents in order to make them schema-compliant.
