XSD uses DOMWriter provided by Xerces-C++ to serialize to XML.
It turns the format-pretty-print feature on by default which
produces the result you see (BTW, I believe it adds extra new
lines only for element that are directly under the root so real
documents with several nesting levels actually look better with
these extra newlines than without them).

You only other option is to turn pretty-printing off altogether
in which case you will get unformatted XML. To do this you will
need to set the DOM-to-XML serialization stage yourself and switch
the format-pretty-print feature off on the DOMWriter object. For
more information see Q3.2 in the C++/Tree Mapping FAQ:

As well as the Xerces-C++ DOMWriter documentation:
