MS Project allows the user to create projects that contains "empty" rows.
Ex: (also see attached xml file)

Using Aspose.Tasks 2.8.0 0 we found that MPP and XML import handles the empty rows in different ways.
This is how MPP import looks:
1 1 Sum
2 1.1 1
3 1.2 2
4 1.3 3
5 1.4 4
6 1.5 5
7 1.6
8 1.7
9 1.8
10 1.9 6
11 1.9.1 1
12 1.9.2 2
13 1.9.3 3
This is how XML import looks:
1 1 Sum
2 1.1 1
3 1.2 2
4 1.3 3
5 1.4 4
6 1.5 5
Notice that XML import stops before the first empty line. It would be nice if this could be fixed so that it reads the entire dataset.
