That probably works now. I wouldn't count on it working forever. In 
particular, if XMLOutputter ever got an option to set the maximum 
line length, then line breaks might be used in place of spaces to 
separate attributes inside tags. Setting the line break to nothing 
could produce malformed output. There might be other issues. Setting 
it to a single space might be safer.
