I finally got it ;-). It was not clear to me that lxml only _adds_ whitespace 
when appropriate, neither what "appropriate" actually means. If I understand 
your explanation correctly, the pretty-printing algorithm leaves alone any 
elements that already contain whitespace - this corresponds to the behavior 
in my example, and your method of removing leading and trailing whitespace
will help in most cases.

Thanks,

Albert
