I have a different perspective.
If an editor changes the content when I haven't, I'd be very upset.
Different view of the same thing?
Michael called OOo an XML application.
I hate XML editors that 'make it look pretty'.
What is 'pretty' for person A is ugly for person B.
White space is significant in XML and XML isn't HTML.
I don't think the spec should support an implementation
playing around with the base XML.
