What you are ignoring with this option is white space nodes, not white space ala HTML.When you write XML, or HTML for that matter, have you noticed how it looks:

<div>	<span>TEXT</span></div>

Do you notice anything between the div start tag and the span start tag? No? There's actually white space there. A new line, and a few spaces to be exact. Normally, XML parsers read that space, and present it as a text node to you. With the option to ignore whitespace, that kind of node will not be created.
