RE: [xsl] Difference between <when>x</when> and <when><text>x</text></when>

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.
