		<title>Avalon March CTP whitespace issues</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	The issue of whitespace preservation often comes up when working with XML.  XAML, being XML, is no exception.  Take this for example:
	&#60;StackPanel&#62;
  &#60;TextFlow&#62;&#60;Bold&#62;i&#8217;m Bold&#60;/Bold&#62; &#60;Italic&#62;i&#8217;m Italic&#60;/Italic&#62;&#60;/TextFlow&#62;
&#60;/StackPanel&#62;

		<title>Understanding ClearType</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	In my previous attempt to describe a problem that I believe exists in the current implementation of ClearType on XP, I forgot one important thing.  A picture is worth a thousand words.  The problem is that you can&#8217;t just blow up a bitmap to show sub-pixels.  That&#8217;s why I decided to write [...]]]></description>

		<title>More Avalon requests and bugs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	I&#8217;ve been tinkering around with Avalon CTP lately (without actually making anything useful) and I&#8217;ve run into a few things that may be bugs.   Also, coming from a web development background I&#8217;ve got a question that may be naive.  First the bugs&#8230;
