FWIW this seemed reasonable to me when I first started with SSAX, but it
surprised me later on in another context where I needed the whitespace.
By that time I had forgotten about this procedure and so spent some time
in figuring out what went wrong.

I would suggest that packagers of SSAX provide this whitespace-trimming
behavior as an option that is easy to enable, and furthermore that it be
off by default.  That's the only way to preserve all information in the
original document.

Andy
