Re: [xsl] Xsl:strip-space and xsl:preserve-space (XSLT 2.0)

Just for curiosity Michael, is this related with XSLT processor or there is
error in my code.

It's microsoft's xml parser that has an "optimisation" in that it
removes all white sppace nodes by default and does this at xml parse
time, before xslt or any other process sees the result, so you can not
preserve the spaces, they have already gone.

The parser has a preserveWhitespace property that you can set to true
before parsing which will make the parser conform to the xml spec and
report these spaces, but I don't know if xml spy gives you an interface
to setting that property.
