problem with msxml

I got a little trouble with spaces and new-lines, I hope someone can help... This msxml thing I'm using can extract the text in two modes, both are not good for some reason:

1. IXMLDOMNode::get_text(..)

Trims leading and ending spaces between tags (bad (what does the xml standard say?)), but doesn't insert new-lines when the text file includes a new line char 0x0a (good).

"Welcome to <b><i>The Core Media Player</i></b>"
"Welcome toThe Core Media Player".

2. IXMLDOMNode::get_xml(..)

Leaves spaces (good), but also leaves new-lines (bad).

"<font color="#FF0000" outline-color="#7F0000">Red</font>,
<font color="#00FF00" outline-color="#007F00">Green</font>,
<font color="#0000FF" outline-color="#00007F">Blue</font>"

"Red,
Green,
Blue"
