note 61602 added to ref.dom

For those of you suffering with extra DOMText objects in
your DOM Tree, set preserveWhiteSpace to false before
loading your XML. This doesn't seem to be explicitly stated
in the manual.

Example:
<?php
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$xml = '<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8"?>
<node1>
 <node2 />
</node1>
';
$dom->loadXML( $xml );
$nodeList = $dom->getElementsByTagName( 'node1' );
$node1 = $nodeList->item(0);
foreach ( $node1->childNodes as $node ) {
    echo 'Class: ' . get_class( $node ) . "n";
}
?>

Will result in:
Class: DOMText
Class: DOMElement
Class: DOMText

If you add:
<?php
$dom->preserveWhiteSpace = false;
?>

You will get:
Class: DOMElement
