Research direction
Start by comparing the passing and failing tests linked in the issue, then read the serde deserialization code that handles whitespace-only strings. Determine whether the behavior is intended and, if not, make the contrasting cases consistent; the issue does not name specific source files or tests.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Thanks to the work of @ggodlewski, whitespace is now preserved by default according to the xml specification when deserializing with serde. I note, however, one lingering apparent inconsistency in the case of deserializing a string consisting of only whitespace.
I've isolated the issue in these contrasting passing and failing tests.
Is this intended behaviour?
