           Summary: XmppReader treats nodes containing only whitespace as
                    empty nodes.
           Product: Wocky
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: General
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: will.thompson at collabora.co.uk

WockyXmppReader seems to treat "<foo>    </foo>" as equivalent to "<foo/>".

This seems harmless, but... it breaks sending people messages containing only
whitespace. It's surprising, and I think wrong, that if I send "   " to a
contact who uses Gabble, they don't actually get notified for the message I
sent them.

By contrast, the padding in "<body>  hai  </body>" is included in the node's
content.
