I notice that the tools provided treat whitespace at the front or back
of the text content of an element as insignificant. For example,
running the testsuite through diff and merge ends up with
<Z> Testing 1 2 3 </Z>
where the original had
<Z>
Testing 1 2 3
</Z>
Is this intentional? Is it appropriate, given what section 2.10 of the
XML recommendation [1] says about whitespace handling?
