Gary, thanks for so detailed explanation.

 From my quick and simplified observations, QDomDocument::toString() 
unfourtanely already wastes the infromation contained within whitespaces:

oo.org XML string (1):
<elem1/><elem2/>

...becomes, after calling QDomDocument::toString() (2):
<elem1/>\n[some spaces for indentation]<elem2/>

...so simplifyWhiteSpace step will just transfer (1) to something like:
<elem1/> <elem2/>
         ^simplified whitespace

I can see that KWord properly saves elements within textual (text:p) context - 
everything inside text:p is saved within a single line. I dont know how it's 
performed (any hint?) but I cannot do this easily by postprocessing the string 
after QDomDocument::toString(). I prefer to reuse koffice saving code for ODF.

I can use whatever koffice filter already used.
