Sorry, I should have linked to the public version:

Dmitri’s suggestion and your direction have helped.  Essentially we have got 
literal json strings/string parts in the <xsl:template>. 
 
For example :
 
<xsl:template match =’/’>
                {
                                <xsl:apply-templates select=’atom:feed’/>
                }
</xsl:template>
 
What we should do is use variables etc for these strings, which will lead to 
more readable code plus minified json
 
Perhaps :
<xsl:template match =’/’>
                <xsl:value-of select=”’{‘”/>
<xsl:apply-templates select=’atom:feed’/>
                <xsl:value-of select=”’}‘”/>
</xsl:template>
 
Either that or

<xsl:template match =’/’>
                <xsl:text>{</xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates select=’atom:feed’/>
                <xsl:text>}</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

Or if you're into DTDs

<xsl:template match =’/’>
                &OPENCURLY;
<xsl:apply-templates select=’atom:feed’/>
                &CLOSECURLY;
</xsl:template>

where the entity references expand to xsl:text elements.
