IgnoreWhite doesn't strip carriage returns?

Question

I have read in many resources that ignoreWhite gets rid of
all carriage returns. Yet, when I run this simple example, I see a
visible carriage return (2 in fact) in the output panel. What is
going on here?
XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<portfolio>
<section sectionName="signature">
<content filename="filename.swf" caption="hello">
This is the text that goes in here.
</content>
</section>
</portfolio>
ActionScript:
var myXML:XML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myXML.onLoad = function (success:Boolean):Void {
if (success) {
trace(this);
else {
trace("Error loading XML file");
myXML.load("portfolio.xml");
Here is a screen shot of the output panel:

Answer 1

Two things seem to solve this problem:
Adding a CDATA tag to the XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<portfolio>
<section sectionName="signature">
<content filename="filename.swf" caption="hello">
<![CDATA[This is the text that goes in here.]]>
</content>
</section>
</portfolio>
Or just simply getting rid of the carriage returns:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<portfolio>
<section sectionName="signature">
<content filename="filename.swf" caption="hello">This
is the text that goes in here.</content>
</section>
</portfolio>
