Retaining whitespaces in the output

The schema defines a default value for an element as "   " (3 spaces). I 
am navigating the XmlObject using XmlCursor and for the particular 
element am able to successfully replace the default value in case no 
value is passed in the xml.

However, on executing XmlObject.tostring() on the updated object, the 
output seems to be of the form <element/> instead of the <element>   
</element>.

Is there a way to make sure that the 'space' values are retained in the 
output xml?
