AW: Problems with Mixed Content and XMLOutputter

Hi,

that's my approach:

xml ( with mixed-content whitespaces) --> open xml-text in a kind of text-editor --> load the <text>-content in a XML-Editor --> Save from the XML-editor (maybe theere's already something to do protecting the spaces?!) to the text-editor --> Save from there to xml. 
And if I unsterstand your proposal, you will create the xml-result via XSLT at this point?

I'm not so familiar with XSLT, but this could be a possible solution.
But a native JDOM solution would be nice, too. I think it's more simple (ok, is't always relative ;)  ...)

If you need to trim some whitespace and leave other whitespace intact, then
you're asking a bit much of a general-purpose serializer to do this for you.
Write an XSLT transformation that implements your specific rules.
