[osis-core] whitespace

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Suggestion:

Chris suggested that we possibly make use of the xml:space attribute.  I 
think it is a great suggestion.  I would like to be able to define 
xml:space at the top of my doc and set it to whatever value it must be 
set so that the application DOESN'T strip whitespace.
