Hi.
I'm trying to use Emacs' XML parser to parse Atom feeds, and I'm finding
that xml-print inserts spurious whitespace in the XHTML content, which
breaks formatting. Here's a pretty minimal example:
(require 'xml)
(defun xml-parse-from-string (s)
(with-temp-buffer
(insert s)
(xml-parse-region (point-min) (point-max))))
(defun xml-print-to-string (x)
(with-temp-buffer
(xml-print x)
(buffer-substring (point-min) (point-max))))
(xml-print-to-string (xml-parse-from-string "<p>[<a>foo</a>]</p>"))
"<p>[
<a>foo</a>]
</p>"

I can confirm that this is still an issue on the Emacs trunk. However,
our XML reader does not retain information about whitespace (or the lack
of it). And
<p>[
<a>foo</a>]
</p>
is perfectly valid XML. I don't really think there's a way to "fix"
this, if it's considered a bug, which is kinda isn't. So I'm closing
this as "wontfix".

[Not directly related to the bug report but maybe helpful:]
'newsticker.el' already does parsing of different Atom and RSS feeds.
Maybe you can re-use some of that functionality. Please have a look at
newst-backend.el.
Best,
Ulf
