but ignoring indent=no sounds less likely, are you sure you don't have
another xsl:output somewhere, or that you are not outputing an XMl tree
that is then being serialised by some other JDK methord rather than
being serialised by XSLT?

No other xsl:output, and all I do in the transform is this:

  SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
  spf.setNamespaceAware(true);
  SAXParser parser = spf.newSAXParser();
  reader = parser.getXMLReader();
  stf = (SAXTransformerFactory) TransformerFactory.newInstance();
  String s = serializeTree();
  System.out.println("DEBUG: " + s);     // <------- DEBUG
  InputSource input = new InputSource(new StringReader(s));
  filter = stf.newXMLFilter(new StreamSource(stylesheet));
  filter.setParent(reader);
  StreamResult result = new StreamResult(response.getWriter());
  Transformer transformer = stf.newTransformer();
  SAXSource transformSource = new SAXSource(filter, input);
  transformer.transform(transformSource, result);

At the point where the DEBUG output is, the serialized tree is as I've
described it; the extra newlines appear in the output also as described.

In the meantime I have kludged up a workaround when I serialise the
tree:

  if (tagName.equals("pre")) {
    d = d.replaceAll("<br[^>]*>","\n");
  }

This works but it offends my sensibilities!

Thanks,
