True; this discussion is already going on for quite a while now. The default value of CHOP will be changed in a future version of BaseX.

Though I think "CHOP" defaulting to true is a bug compared to the
expected behaviour of XML.

And while it's very useful to have CHOP there for some kinds of data,
for other kinds it's a severe hazard that it's the default.  People
have major freakouts when their documentation XML documents look like
they've lost the white spaces around bold tags and will have nothing
to do with BaseX thereafter.
