[Featureserver] Problem with kml where coords separated only by linefeed

[Peter Robins]

I've having a problem with kml input where the coords in say a
linestring are separated by linefeed not space, like this:
          <LineString>
            <coordinates>
7.59400,50.3043
7.59359,50.3041
etc

kml.py gets the nodevalue, and it looks like the nodevalue ignores all
linefeeds, meaning the coords get concatenated 50.30437.59 etc, so you
end with one long string with no space between coordinate pairs.

I've tried searching the web without success. Is there a way to get
nodevalue to convert linefeeds to space as an html parser would do? At
the moment, the only solution I've found to this problem is to edit
the file and insert a space at the beginning or end of each line!
