In your code with the xsl:text the <when> element has three children: two
are whitespace text nodes and one is an xsl:text element. The whitespace
text nodes should be ignored, and this seems consistent with the way you
describe the output.

I noticed that XALAN 2.7.1 makes a difference between
<when>
x
</when>
(Result *includes* line breaks and blanks)
and
<when>
<xsl:text>x</xsl:text>
</when>
(Result includes only 'x' *without* breaks or blanks).
Is that a bug or is that wanted behaviour?
That's correct behaviour. Whitespace text nodes in the stylesheet
should be ignored, unless the parent node is an xsl:text element.

Michael,
you're confusing me: You wrote that whitespace shall be
ignore UNLESS xsl:text is used, but in fact, XALAN 2.7.1 does
*not* ignore the white space, but actually INCLUDES it (check
my 'Result...' comments below the examples)!
Or did I misunderstand what you liked to say?
Thanks!
Markus
