It looks like your input has no mixed content, in which case it makes sense to
use
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
to remove all interstitial whitespace on input, and
<xsl:output indent="yes"/>
to reconstruct it on output.

I'm writing a little simple XSLT that translates one Xml to another

doing an assortment of other things as well. All is fine and dandy,
but I'd like to trap the whitespace along with the elements that I am
removing, instead I am getting big gaps in my resulting Xml. I
reallize that I can turn off indent, but what would be the way to
remove the related whitespace of an element that has been removed? So
given:
<data>
<a>this is a</a>
<b>this is b</b>
<c>this is c</c>
</data>
If I trap b <xsl:template match="b"/> and do nothing with it my result
looks like:
<data>
<a>this is a</a>
<c>this is c</c>
</data>
Thanks.
