[oXygen-user] Potential IE whitespace issue in Oxygen

Dear George et al.,

I note a problem that cost me several hours of debugging.

If I generate a strict and validated xhtml file through Saxon and then  
read it into the editor so that I can save it to a URI, the file no  
longer renders in IE, though it is still fine in other browsers. If I  
simply copy the file to it's destination with a filesystem copy then  
it works fine in IE.

I am surprised that IE barfs on whitespace, but also concerned that  
Oxygen adds something troublesome into the file. On a brief inspection  
the problem seems to be both in the main text (the header is where I  
traced an unexplainable issue to using Visual Studio) and in the tail  
of the file, which appears to have garbage attached.

With respect,
Steven
