  Ok, I have commited onto both CVS bases :
    - a new heuristic with the same behavior as before except
      it generates a text node when there is space and only spaces
      between the opening tag and ending tag
    - a extra flag in the parser context keepBlanks which if
      set will diable any heuristic (though white space can
      still be flagged as ignorable if there is a DTD and the
      element is not mixed-content)

I have generated a libxml-pre-1.8.7.tar.gz and put it at
  ftp://rpmfind.net/pub/rpmfind/libxml-pre-1.8.7.tar.gz

Gnumeric seems happy with it, please test if possible so that
I can trust it to release 1.8.7,

Daniel
