Comment 6 for bug 167125

First of all I'm calmed by the fact that this is only a cosmetic issue. When I saw the empty nodes in XML editor I was afraid that there was an error parsing the XML therefore potentially damaging the SVG if further working with it.

That's also why i think this should definitely be fixed (It's probably not that hard to simply hide the empty nodes in XML editor?).

An even if one nows that this is only a cometic issue, it stays a usability issue after all. It's already hard enough to keep track of a complex XML tree, a bunch of blank nodes in between really doesn't improve the situation.
