Guys,

The behavior for the new xml:space attribute:

**********
The value "default" signals that applications' default white-space 
processing modes are acceptable for this element; the value "preserve" 
indicates the intent that applications preserve all the white space. 
This declared intent is considered to apply to all elements within the 
content of the element where it is specified, unless overriden with 
another instance of the xml:space attribute.

The root element of any document is considered to have signaled no 
intentions as regards application space handling, unless it provides a 
value for this attribute or the attribute is declared with a default value.
*********
