How does DeltaXML handle white space?
White space traditionally gives rise to problems when comparing XML files – these are resolved by DeltaXML. If there is a DTD this is used to eliminate spurious white space. Otherwise it is safest to remove extra white space before the comparison process: an XSL filter is provided to do this. Without these precautions you will typically identify a lot of differences that are not significant. If white space is important, then leave it in and DeltaXML will compare it.
