If you load from a file with proper formatting and indentation then I am 
sure if you set
   xmlDocument.preserveWhiteSpace = true;
before loading and then later save that the formatting is preserved.
However if you construct a new document from scratch using DOM methods 
(e.g. createElement, createTextNode, appendChild) then indeed you need 
to ensure yourself that the document is properly formatted for saving. 
One way to do that is to use XSLT to format the document, this older 
post contains an XSLT 1.0 stylesheet doing that:
<http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.xml/msg/3545b35d0886d49c?dmode=source>
Can't help you with C++ but perhaps you are able to transcribe the 
JScript code to C++ yourself.
