622525 - XML.prototype.toString does not honor XML.prettyPrinting correctly

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Tamarin Graveyard :: Library, defect)

Description

(Transfered from Jira: ASL-166)

If XML.prettyPrinting is false then whitespace should not be stripped from XMLText nodes.  But we do this.  Here's the example program (the XML is all on one line):

var xml=<root><node xml:space="preserve">And a </node><node xml:space="preserve">fine </node><node xml:space="preserve">day to you too</node></root>;
XML.prettyPrinting = false;
trace(xml); 

This prints this:

<root><node space="preserve" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace">And a</node><node space="preserve">fine</node><node space="preserve">day to you too</node></root>

which is not correct because the spaces after "a" and "fine" are not preserved in the output.  According to E357-2 10.2.1, whitespace stripping should not take place if XML.prettyPrinting is false.
