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?

White space _only_ text nodes are stripped. The 'when' element has a
text node with white space and the character 'x' so in that case the
text node is output with both the white space and the 'x'.

I understand! So the point is *not* that I used "xsl:text" in one place
but not the other, but that I used "breaks" in one place but not the
other! Ok, understood. Thanks for the clarification! :-)

Is there a portable way to tell that

<when>
  x
</when>

shall be treated as if it would be

<when>x</when>

?

Thanks!
Markus
