White space, carriage return, and tabs

[Dane Foster <df...@equitytg.com>]

If I have an XML document with a tag containing the following:

<sentence-tag>This sentence has    four spaces following 'has' and
                a carriage return  followed by four tabs following 'and'.</sentence-tag>

How do I prevent Xerces for removing the white spaces, carriage return, and without using a DTD for validation?
