Hi Philip,
Not sure whether this makes sense for your use case, but when
considering white space in XSLT, you should also consider that the XSLT
can be used as input document for the same or other XSLT as well. This
is not uncommon. And, of course, any XSLT can contain XML segments not
related to XSLT which may fall under the same rules as normal XML when
it comes to white space significance.
Keeping into consideration that the XSLT file should be treated as if it
were any ordinary input XML (or worse, input text document, heaven
forbid!) with all its quirks might make whitespace handling harder than
it first seems when just looking at the XSLT itself.
Kind regards,
Abel Braaksma

So, this makes things manageable so far as XSLT processing is
concerned, but the other points on interoperability with systems,
working practices and general acceptance are challenges which will be
interesting to explore further.
