Stripping all whitespace and carriage return / end of line

Hi,

I thought that 

<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

strips all whitespace from element content, but this does not seem to
include carriage returns, tabs and similar trailing and leading
characters. However, when reading an element content,  I would like to
have those ignored.

How would I achieve this? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks and best regards,
Matthias
