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

Well this was totally dumb...
I just opened the XML in notepad and realised that the spaces in data is 
being preserved. Its was good old Mr. Internet Explorer taking them out in 
display. and because the default XMl viewer is IE I did not realise this.

I also tried all the different ways

newDomNode and save the DOM document
toString
xmlText

and all of the above with XMLOptions.setPrettyPrint and in all the cases the 
spaces are being preserved as is.
