Hmm,
I don't think kawa itself should emit newlines unless its told to. 

As the sed command already strips whitespace besides newlines, could it be just
expanded to zap newlines as well. Or pipe to `tr -d '\n'`.

With XML the formatting doesn't matter so it would probably be easiest to
compare expected output if its formatted as single long string?
