Thank you Mr. Kay for another useful information. Now
we all agree(including myself!), that by default XSLT
1.0 processor should preserve whitespace-only text
nodes..
But MSXSL strips whitespace only text nodes in absence
of strip-space and preserve-space instructions.. As
Mr. Ken Holman originally pointed, this is a
non-conformance.. I also now feel so!
Dimitre said, there is a "preserveWhiteSpace"
property of IXMLDOMDocument.. But this I feel, is at
an API level..., which I feel does not ensure
conformance on this issue!
Regards,
Mukul

This is a very reasonable implementation.

a
application!
You must have missed Ken Holman's note which points
out that in mixed
content (that is, in "document-oriented" XML) they
are vital!
