But not for the content of an element! If I write an XML file like:

<Root>
	<Node>blub</Node>
</Root>

or

<Root><Node>blub</Node></Root>

The content of "Node" has to be the same. Doesn't matter for which XML
file. What XMLsec does is just adding whitespace for indenting to the
contents element which is _not_ OK.

If you run my example application to demonstrate this problem you will
realize that when you change "xmlIndentTreeOutput = 1;" to
"xmlIndentTreeOutput = 0;" the indention does change and especially the
content of "Node" does too (it will change from "    \ncontentOfNOde\n
" to "\ncontentOfNode\n").

Libxml2 does it right. Just check it.
