Ken> -strip:all|none|ignorable
I can't see any justification for this in the XSLT 2.0
recommendation, other than the caveat of how a source
document is constructed is outside the remit of the
recommendation.
This switch is nothing to do with the Recommendation, which says processors
can do what they like. There are three common patterns of whitespace
handling: report all whitespace text nodes, report none, and report only
those in element-only content. People come to Saxon from other products and
complain that its default is different from the one assumed by their
stylesheet code; this switch allows you to emulate what your previous
processor did so you don't have to change your code.
