There should be a configuration option for skipping non-meaningful text events in-between XML tags #461
Description
We should provide an option which would address #285 (comment) by trimming away Text events that do not have meaning to XML (e.g. whitespace between elements, or text prior to the first XML open tag which may include a BOM character)
To a first approximation this option essentially filters out things which aren't relevant to the information payload of an XML document, such as formatting. This should replace the existing BOM stripping behavior.
