ok
I can't vouch for other processors, but when Xalan-J serializes XML back to
text we render the XML line-break using whatever representation Java tells
us is the standard for the platform we're running on. When our output stays
in the XML domain (SAX or DOM), that conversion is not appropriate and is
not applied.
apparently it does this for explicit <xsl:text> </xsl:text> also.
i thought it would toss the rest of the white space if i had strip space
on for *.
thanks
