Description

When called with XmlOptions.SAVE_PRETTY_PRINT, xmlText trims whitespace within an element - e.g., ' a ' is converted to 'a'.

Unless I'm completely missing something, the formatter shouldn't ever change the contents of an element.

The following test snippet reveals the problem:
XmlObject xdoc = XmlObject.Factory.parse("<test> </test>");
Assert.assertEquals("<test> </test>", xdoc.xmlText());
Assert.assertEquals("<test> </test>" + newLine, xdoc.toString());

The current build from CVS returns <test/>[newline] instead of <test> <test>[newline].

Complete testcase and patch to follow.
