Ok, let's summarize: The XML spec states that "An XML processor must always pass all characters in a document that are not markup through to the application". My question: on which level the DOM is aligned? Is it attached to a XML parser, or is it more attached to a XML application? In the latter case (validating parser with known DTD) the object structure should not contain text nodes with whitespaces if the content model of the element doesn't contain #PCDATA and xml:space is not "preserve". On the other hand it's no big effort transforming a DOM tree with whitespace text nodes into another one without them ...
