Extra spaces (not typed by the user) are inserted by between
`<text:span>` elements.

The following testcase illustrates the problem (`*` for bold, '/' for
italic):

----
A*B/C/D*E
----

When saved in the ODT format, 'contents.xml' contains

----
<text:p text:style-name="Standard">A<text:span text:style-name="T1">B</text:span><text:span text:style-name="T2">C</text:span><text:span text:style-name="T1">D</text:span>E</text:p>
----

The same document saved in FODT (flat ODT) format end up containing

----
<text:p text:style-name="Standard">A<text:span text:style-name="T1">B</text:span>
  <text:span text:style-name="T2">C</text:span>
  <text:span text:style-name="T1">D</text:span>E</text:p>
----

That is, spaces are added around the second `<text:span>` element, the
one containing the text 'C' with an italic style. When this file is read
back, the content of the document is changed to

----
A*B /C/ D*E
----

Probably some XML processors used in the save path are indenting those
elements because they think that text between `<text:span>` elements is
ignored and, thus, these elements can be indented on a new line. If that
is the case, adding `xml:space` declarations should avoid such issues.

It happens with the following code too:

<text:p text:style-name="P1"><text:span text:style-
name="T1">A</text:span><text:span text:style-
name="T2">B</text:span><text:span text:style-
name="T3">C</text:span><text:span text:style-
name="T2">D</text:span><text:span text:style-
name="T1">E</text:span></text:p>

No spaces, no newlines.

Title:
  [upstream] flat xml format inaccuracy

Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
  Fix Released
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: libreoffice

  The flat XML formats of LibreOffice are very practical when working
  with version control systems like svn, mercurial, bazaar or cvs.

  In lodraw saving files in the .fodt format seems currently to loose information, though: 
  After saving the file attached to this bug as flat xml and re-opening it 
   - the drawing is no longer aligned to the grid
   - and some texts have whitespace attached that being of a much higher vertical size than the rest of the text (I think it was 12pt versus 6pt) ruin the layout.

  If the file is saved in the .odt format in the ordinary .odt format
  instead on opening it will just look as it did before saving the file
  instead.
