[jdom-interest] bloated RC2 files - extra white space

[Jason Hunter]

I'm glad things worked out for you.  I think b8 had some issues where it
trimmed a little more than it really "should" have, and your code
probably benefited from that.

If you want to try something interesting, get the CVS code and use the
new Format feature:

new XMLOutputter(Format.getPrettyFormat())

It should work nicely without you having to call set methods.  

Hmm, I did set the "pretty" filter to just do text trimming and not text
normalizing.  I wonder if we should do normalizing instead?  The
downside is it'll probably be slower, although I have no benchmarks to
know if it's significant.
