It's been a couple of months since anyone asked this, so you can be
forgiven...
You are processing the whitespace text nodes in between the elements, as
well as the elements themselves. To process only the elements, use
<xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
Then I noticed you had written:
<xsl:apply-templates match="root/item"/>
But <xsl:apply-templates> does not allow a "match" attribute, so any
conformant XSLT processor should have given you an error message. Which
processor are you using?
