Hmm.. ok, this was trickier than i thought. :)

The reason why this happens is that expat conserves '\n':s and other 
whitespace at the beginning and end of data. Whitespace just after a 
opening tag and just before a closing tag should be ignored for the 
benefit of human editing according to http://www.w3.org/XML/Datamodel.html

I've changed it to behave that way now. Really. Honest. :)
