Ahh..! Thank you, I get it now.

Apologies for being dense and dragging this on, but I seem to 
have a fundamental misunderstanding. Can you or someone else 
explain where the whitespace is with regard to the 
xsl:value-of in something like:

<script xml:space="preserve"/>
  <xsl:variable name="my-var">
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="true()">1</xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>2</xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:variable>
  var myvar=<xsl:value-of select="$my-var" separator=""/>; </script>

I have marked potential significant whitespace with an X:

<script xml:space="preserve"/>X
XX<xsl:variable name="my-var">X
XXXX<xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="true()">1</xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>2</xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>X
XX</xsl:variable>X
XXvarXmyvar=<xsl:value-of select="$my-var" separator=""/>;X</script>

To my eyes, there is no whitespace around the xsl:value-of 
and the application is *not* taking me at my word.

I expect the whitespace you are unhappy with is the whitespace that is part
of the variable value $my-var, generated before and after the xsl:choose
instruction.
