Summary: XMLUtil.ignoreWhitespace does not work with namespace

Initial Comment:
Test case:
public void testIgnoreWhitespace2() throws Exception {
    String control =
        "<env:Envelope xmlns:env='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'>" +
        "\r\n   <env:Header/>" +
        "\r\n   </env:Envelope>";
    String test =
        "<env:Envelope xmlns:env='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'>" +
        "<env:Header/>" +
        "</env:Envelope>";      
    XMLUnit.setIgnoreWhitespace(true);
    try {
        Diff diff = XMLUnit.compareXML(control, test);
        System.out.println(test);
        System.out.println(control);
        System.out.println(new DetailedDiff(diff));
        assertEquals("Should be identical", true,
                new Diff(control, test).identical());
    } finally {
        XMLUnit.setIgnoreWhitespace(false);
    }
}

Output:

<env:Envelope xmlns:env='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'><env:Header/></env:Envelope>
<env:Envelope xmlns:env='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'>
   <env:Header/>
   </env:Envelope>

http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6413803 probably holds
the full story.

I can confirm that the test passes on JDK 1.4.2 and 1.6.

I'd rather think it is the XSLT transformer since JDK 1.5's XSLTC really
is a mess - and responsible for many other problems.  XPath assertions in
XMLUnit 1.0 don't work because of it either.

You could try downloading Xalan-J (for example) and tell XMLUnit to use
Xalan instead of the JDK's transformer as a workaround.  I'll look into the
issue myself as well.

The test works on JDK 1.6.0_02 but does not on JDK 1.5.0_07 or 1.5.0_11,
so I suppose it is a difference in XML parsers shipped with the JDK 1.5.
(This is on Linux by the way.)

If you can reproduce this, is there some sort of work-around you could put
into place? My product is JDK 1.5 only.

I've added your test and it passes for me (trunk as well as XMLUnit 1.1).
