<div><br></div><div>The JSword compare functionality (and indexing) uses OSISUtil.getCanonicalText(). This seems to add spaces between the seg elements which then makes for inconsistent results in the diffing (extra differences). The following comment is seen in the method:</div>
<div><div> // make sure that adjacent text elements are separated by whitespace</div><div>// TODO(dms): verify that the xml parser does not split words containing entities.</div></div><div><br></div><div>Presumably, we want to add an exception for <i>seg</i> elements.

<div><br></div><div>My question is whether to add a new block in the instanceof Element part. Or in the instanceof Text part? </div><div>Also, are there any other times ever where we want additional spaces between segs? Any other gotchas?</div>
