Ah-hah!
Now I see what's going on, and what you meant with the first answer.
Thanks much to all!

-> That's probably because you're picking up the wrong node. In XSLT 1.0, if
-> you do normalize-space(text()) then it processes the first child text node.

-> whitespace text nodes, this will be the first non-whitespace node. If you
-> don't strip them, it will be the first whitespace node.
