Whitespace-only text nodes in the stylesheet should be
ignored, unless an ancestor node contains the
xml:space="preserve" directive. <xsl:text> elements
automatically imply xml:space="preserve" to the XSLT processor.
Yes, thanks for the reminder, I often forget that rule. Putting
xml:space="preserve" in a stylesheet is definitely NOT recommended, but it's
something to look out for when you have otherwise inexplicable behaviour.
