I tried
Code:
sed 's/^ *//' file.xml


output
Code:
<xn:VsDataContainer id="1U104799" modifier="update">
                                <xn:attributes>
                                        <xn:vsDataType>vsDataExternalUtranCell</xn:vsDataType>
                                        <xn:vsDataFormatVersion>EricssonSpecificAttributes.12.26</xn:vsDataFormatVersion>
                                        <es:vsDataExternalUtranCell>

xgfmerge

XGFMERGE(1)						      General Commands Manual						       XGFMERGE(1)

NAME

       xgfmerge - merges two Xgridfit program files

SYNOPSIS

       xgfmerge [options] file-a file-b [...]

DESCRIPTION

       Xgfmerge  merges  two or more Xgridfit program files, where file-a is a program generated automatically from an existing font using TTX and
       ttx2xgf, and file-b and any other files in the list contain other programming for the font.  Xgfmerge outputs  the  merged  programming	to
       stdout.	To capture the output in a file, use this syntax:

	    $xgfmerge -o merged-file.xgf file-a.xgf file-b.xgf

       Note: To merge Xgridfit instructions with those already in a font, the best method is now to run Xgridfit in merge-mode (option -m).

OPTIONS

       -c     Look  for  a  <default  type="compile-globals"/>	element  in  each  file after the first in the list. If value="no" then ignore all
	      <default>, <control-value>, <function>, <macro> and <pre-program> elements in the file.

       -h     Display a help message.

       -n     Merge <no-compile> elements from all files. <glyph> elements with duplicate "ps-name" attributes are ignored.

       -o file
	      The file to write the output to. If this option is not used, output is written to stdout.

       -p     When a <pre-program> element in a file other than file-a is available, use it instead of the one from file-a. If this option is  not
	      present,	xgfmerge  merges  the programming in the <pre-program> of file-a with that in the <pre-program> of whichever file is being
	      merged at the moment.  The result is unlikely to be good if a single run of xgfmerge merges the contents	of  more  than	two  <pre-
	      program> elements.

       -s     Sort <glyph> elements in the output file into alphabetical order.

       -v     Verbose output: xgfmerge tells you what it is doing at each step.

       -x     Resolve  XIncludes  before  merging  all	files in the list except for file-a. Any XIncludes from file-a.xgf are stripped out of the
	      files before this operation is performed. If XInclude is used to bring global  elements  (<control-value>,  <function>,  etc.)  into
	      these files, it is probably a good idea to use the -c option as well.

FILES

       /usr/share/xml/xgridfit/util/merge.xsl
	      An XSLT script that performs the merge.

       /usr/share/xml/xgridfit/util/xinclude.xsl
	      An XSLT script that strips out unwanted XIncludes.

       /usr/share/xml/xgridfit/util/sort-glyphs.xsl
	      An XSLT script that sorts glyph elements in a file.

       /usr/share/xml/xgridfit/utils/add-blanks.sed
	      Does some formatting of the output.

SEE ALSO

       xgridfit(1), ttx(1), ttx2xgf(1).
