Re: Trailing blank space / Whitespace is not preserved : XmlObject.newDomNode

Unfortunately, the parser we use is not reporting this information.  Also,
and more importantly, this whitespace outside the document element is not
considered part of the XML Infoset.  XmlBeans, in general, supports only
the data model specified by the XML Infoset:

    http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-infoset/

Note section 2.1 (1) where it specifies that the document must have one
element and may have comments or PI's.  Character data is not allowed.

So, XmlBeans does not preserve the exact syntax of an incoming document,
just the Xml Infoset.  There are many other examples of this.  One is that
the white space between attributes is not preserved.
