<data> made of spaces only is not preserved.

[ysavourel]

When a <data> element contains only spaces the content is discarded when reading the file. The expected behavior is to preserve the spaces.

For example, for this content:

String data = "<xliff srcLang='en' version='2.0' xmlns='urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:2.0'>"
   + "<file id='f1'><unit id='u1'>"
   + "<originalData><data id='d1'>   </data></originalData>"
   + "<segment><source><ph id='ph1' dataRef='d1'/>Sentence 1.</source></segment>"
   + "</unit></file></xliff>";

We get:

Type: Localization.Xliff.OM.Core.File
Type: Localization.Xliff.OM.Core.Unit
Type: Localization.Xliff.OM.Core.OriginalData
Type: Localization.Xliff.OM.Core.Data
Type: Localization.Xliff.OM.Core.Segment
Type: Localization.Xliff.OM.Core.Source
Type: Localization.Xliff.OM.Core.StandaloneCode
Type: Localization.Xliff.OM.Core.PlainText
Content: 'Sentence 1.'

While the expected result is:

Type: Localization.Xliff.OM.Core.File
Type: Localization.Xliff.OM.Core.Unit
Type: Localization.Xliff.OM.Core.OriginalData
Type: Localization.Xliff.OM.Core.Data
Type: Localization.Xliff.OM.Core.PlainText
Content: '   '
Type: Localization.Xliff.OM.Core.Segment
Type: Localization.Xliff.OM.Core.Source
Type: Localization.Xliff.OM.Core.StandaloneCode
Type: Localization.Xliff.OM.Core.PlainText
Content: 'Sentence 1.'
