[BATIK-1015] Node.getTextContent() does not function

• Type: Bug

Description

I opened an SVG document using the DOM parser, find a node in the tree, and then attempt to get the original text corresponding to that node (for the purpose of splitting an SVG document into multiple smaller ones).

The problem is that Node.getTextContent() returns only whitespace (variable amount of newlines) without any actual content.

Example code attached.
