There are 3 types of whitespace within an XML document, XML Syntax, Significant and Insignificant
1. XML Syntactical whitespace - is whitespace required by the XML in order to delimitate XML constructs.
2. Insignificant Whitespace - is whitespace, that is not considered part of an element, if two elements are separated by just whitespace its considered insignificant.
3. Significant Whitespace - is whitespace that XML element attribute contains. by Valeri Tandilashvili
