--------------------------------------------

Any chance you could provide a simple JUnit test? This would help tracking down the problem.

> It does not seem to preserve the whitespace on the current node.  However, if I do

> <space xml:space="preserve>
>    <test> a b c </test>

> it does preserve it. I would like to be able to turn on whitespace preservation on the current node without changing the path to my node.
> I tested my values by printing out values retrieved from getList() method.
