Is newline treated as a node on purpose?

[Dinker Charak <di...@fnal.gov>]

Hello,

Environment
===========
PC/Linux. Xerces C++ 1.7

Desciption
==========
If I have an xml file like this ...

<topnode>
<firstchild>
</firstchild>
<secondchild>
</secondchild>
</topnode>

my program gives this output:

[dinker@odsdin src]$ tryxml < witheol.xml
#text
firstchild
#text
secondchild
#text

But for an xml file like this

<topnode><firstchild></firstchild><secondchild></secondchild></topnode>

my program gives this output:

[dinker@odsdin src]$ tryxml < withouteol.xml
firstchild
secondchild

Is this a bug or expected behaviour?
