[including whitespaces] How to prevent them from being ignored?

They are not ommitted, but expanded.

Other question: is there a possibility to automatically resolve standard entities like   within DOMDocuments, or do we really have to write a whole DTD for each document to use those entities?

There are no standard entities in XML, therefore you always have to include the correct DTD.

Entities and Encodings are very tricky in DOM, arent't them... ?

No, it's quite logical once you got the idea ;) chregu

Any suggestions are apreciated. thanks in advance vivi
