My guess is that HaXML doesn't validate (using the DTD) or simply
ignores it for pretty printing purposes.  If the "Person-XML" element
were defined to hold #PCDATA as well as (a) "Name" element(s), the two
examples above are not equivalent, since you've added white space
characters to the contents.

Adding whitespace within the tag is okay, though, since it doesn't
change the semantics of the document.

(Jeez!  Has CSFB hear of mailing lists?)
