It's desirable to change this, but it's non-trivial.  We switched to
Python's standard XML-writing package, and this is how it does it.  We
need to insert elements in the DOM that contain spaces/carriage-returns.
It should be possible to write a generic pretty-printing routine to do
this, but we don't have one yet.

(It's also might be bad to full indent everything; that could increase
the size of the files a lot.)
