Hi Max,
If you want to do something about formatting of the output XML document, I
think you should focus on the XmlWriter (such as XmlTextWriter) since
XmlWriter is the underlying component that dedicated to XML document
writeout and persist. XmlDocument (DOM api class) is only responsible for
constructing XMLDocument structure rather than formatting.
Also, for add custom formatting, I have a suggestion on create a custom
XmlWriter, you can derive your custom XmlWriter class from XmlTextWriter
class.
#XmlTextWriter Members

For example, you can consider override one of the methods such as
"WriteEndElement" and add some additional whitespace string there. And at
runtime, whenever you want to save or writeout any XmlDocument(or directly
using XmlWriter), use your custom xmlWriter to wrapper the original writer.
Sincerely,
Steven Cheng
