XML parsers can support preserving white space nodes, but clojure.data.xml does not seem to support this functionality.

For example, the following should be able to return true (perhaps with an option to parse-str):

(= (clojure.data.xml/element :x {}
                             (clojure.data.xml/element :a {} "foo")
                             " "
                             (clojure.data.xml/element :a {} "bar"))
   (clojure.data.xml/parse-str
     (str "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>"
          "<x>"
          "<a>foo</a>"
          " "
          "<a>bar</a>"
          "</x>")))
;=> true

This is the current behavior:

(= (clojure.data.xml/element :x {}
                             (clojure.data.xml/element :a {} "foo")
                             (clojure.data.xml/element :a {} "bar"))
   (clojure.data.xml/parse-str
     (str "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>"
          "<x>"
          "<a>foo</a>"
          " "
          "<a>bar</a>"
          "</x>")))
;=> true
