[jdom-interest] Line breaks in attribute values removed by SAX Parser?

I have an XML document with an element that looks something like this:
<element attribute="this
has
line
breaks"/>

When I try to read this in using JDOM (B6) the call to getAttributeValue returns "this has line breaks".  The line breaks having been replaced by regular spaces.  

It looks to my in-experienced eye that the SAX Parser is passing the value to SAXHandler.startElement already de-linebreaked.  Does anyone know of a way in either B6 or B7 to work around this (B6 preferred since I don't want to switch to B7 until after I deliver the current version later this week).

Many thanks,
Ken
