Comment 2 for bug 910018

From my point of view, you can close the issue (if you don't think it is important).
I will use the work-around, that is described above, for my purposes.
I just think it is a little bit weird, because "xmllint --format" just provides the desired behavior (xmllint is bundled w/ libxml2).

Thanks for the pointer into the FAQ.
I must have overlooked it (who is reading the manuals anyway ,-).
