not currently, I could add a check to see if there is only
blanks in the given string and output it.
Note that libxml implement one algorithm for space dectection and
removal (use xmlKeepBlanksDefault(0); to activate it). Doing
xmllint --noblanks --debug doc.xml and comparing it to
xmllint --debug doc.xml is a good way to check it does what you
may expect (but remember there is no algorithm satisfying all needs).
