IDOM Parser: whitespace reported as a TEXT child node by getChildNodes()

Not that passing along the whitespace is required DOM and parser behavior (per 
the XML Recommendation!) unless you:

1) Explicitly tell the parser to filter out whitespace-in-element-content 
(actually not a feature written into the XML standard, but commonly supported in 
actual parsers)

_AND_

2) Validate against a DTD or Schema, so the parser knows which whitespace falls 
in this catagory versus being #PCDATA or mixed content.

Did you check your Xerces setup to make sure those conditions are met?
