1. Use different instructions for the output of the variable: value-
of, copy-of, and sequence2. Created the variables as both strings and
elements and even RTFs3. Tried a character map4. Tried an alternative
approach like using strings "#SPACE, #TAB, #NL, etc. I know that
would work but seems like it should be unnecessary?
In every case the white space only variable content gets stripped
out. How can such content be output?

I tried,
<xsl:variable name="generatedTextAfter" as="xs:string?" select=" ' '
"/>
and got output.


The relevant text in the spec is this:
