Making clojure.xml/emit a little friendler to xml consumers

Question

Currently, clojure.xml/emit breaks the eBay api, because emit adds whitespace before and after :contents. This trivial patch fixes it for me:
http://github.com/tjg/clojure/commit/bbff079d26e627c655b847319a58d76b8b3cec7c

(Dunno whether there's a good reason emit works that way, or if I'm missing something obvious.)

I realize that emit's behavior conforms to the XML spec and it's probably eBay at fault here. But I can nevertheless see this whitespace causing problems.
