For XML elements containing only text data, it would be nice if
toprettyxml could omit the whitespace it normally injects before & after
the text, e.g.

<person>
    <first-name>
        Bob
    </first-name>
</person>

Becomes:

<person>
    <first-name>Bob</first-name>
</person>

From what I understand the handling of whitespace within XML elements is
application-defined, so I'm classifying this as a nice-to-have feature.
However it should be noted that in our particular case, the existing
behaviour caused a few problems with a third-party system which treated
whitespace as being significant.
