Carriage returns in saved DCRs?

System

For some reason we are now seeing carriage returns in our DCR xml after we resave them in teamsite 5.5.2 sp2b. This is causing problems in our JSP pages rendering them, thus we do not want the carriage returns in the .xml. how do we disable this? any help would be appreciated

before:
<record name="CN_edbTotalReturnBondB_6809_29178.xml" type="content"><item name="content_id"><value>6809</value></item><item name="hidden_id"><value>6809</value></item><item name="short_desc"><value>edbTotalReturnBondB</value></item>

after save:
<record name="CN_edbTotalReturnBondB_6809_29178.xml" type="content">
<item name="content_id">
<value>6809</value>
</item>
<item name="hidden_id">
<value>6809</value>
</item>
<item name="short_desc">
<value>edbTotalReturnBondB</value>
</item>
