[xml] Loss of whitespace

I first reported this on the PHP4 mailing list, but after some more
poking around, what I'm observing seems to be happening in the libxml
library that PHP4 uses.

Here's a sample document:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<root>
a<x> </x>b<x> </x>c
</root>

If I run this through "tester", I get:

<root>
a<x/>b<x/>c
</root>

Note that the whitespace which forms the contents of the <x> elements
has been discarded.

How do I defeat this?
