All plausible, and I thank you for pointing them out.
In fact, by a process of elimination, my problem appears to be that IE
does not render the div in the span like other browsers - or rather
that it does so inconsistently (because this same code works correctly
in some instances in IE, generated from the same template). So I'm
mystified.
Anyhow my problem does not appear to be an XSL issue. I'll come back
the question of the extra tabs later if I have time.
Thanks.
With respect,
Steven

Some of the possible reasons that come to mind for whitespace not
being
stripped from the source document are:
(a) the source document says xml:space="preserve"
(b) the characters that look like whitespace are not in fact one of
the
characters space, tab, nl, or cr; perhaps they are non-breaking spaces
(c) the offending whitespace characters do not consistute a whole
text node
(they coexist with non-whitespace characters)
(d) the whitespace forms the content of an element that has been
validated
to have a simple type.
All these conjectures may be wrong, but you haven't given enough
information
to discount any of them.
It's also possible that the offending whitespace in your result
document
doesn't originate from the source document at all, it could be
generated by
parts of the stylesheet that we haven't seen.
