I agree.

I don't think we'd really want to have pretty-printing of the XML,
as that would create a result that is materially different from the
*real* canonical XML.  There seem to be some style sheet tricks
which are probably not portable.

The best idea I can come up with (though I don't like it) is to do
some perl or sed based postprocessing on the xhtml output.  I'll
commit something later tonight.

Not really.
