SgmlReader unexpected white space insertion [Archive]

If I use (in VS2010 C#):

var reader = new Sgml.SgmlReader
{
DocType = "HTML",
WhitespaceHandling = WhitespaceHandling.Significant,
CaseFolding = Sgml.CaseFolding.ToLower
};

to parse an InputStream containing:

IZ

to get XHTML as XML string with .ReadOuterXml() then I get:

<html>


I

Z

</html>

The problem is that the line break between the span and sub elements causes an additional white space to appear in the rendered document.

Curiously, if I do the same thing with:

Before
IZ

I receive:

<html>
Before
IZ</html>

If I modify the SgmlReader.cs ReadOuterXml method to use xw.Formatting = Formatting.None then there is no issue, but that has the potential to collapse other whitespace I suspect.

Any ideas why this happens and how to fix it?

Filed a tracking issue to look into it: http://youtrack.developer.mindtouch.com/issue/SR-8480

It caused unexpected rejection of empty namespace URI. ..... we can avoid extraneous whitespace node creation for XmlTextReader by setting WhitespaceHandling. ..... XmlParserInput.cs : Now to handle nested PE insertion and correct BaseURI
