Sometimes it takes a while before you realize just how useful a code snippet is

. I'm currently playing around with using the DOM to retrieve a XML file, and the above really came in handy in getting a consistent document tree across browsers within the XML file. BTW, I resorted to using Alex's code, for share ease of legibility.

Is there a logic behind Mozilla/NS inserting whitespaces into a document in such a manner? It seems to accomplish nothing but complicate matters.
