Text, attributes and elements are separate concepts. Are you actually
referring to attribute values, or the text content of elements? White
space is handled differently therein. Show an example of your XML or XSLT
code.

The explanation is probably in here:

	http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#strip
	http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#AVNormalize
	http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#creating-attributes [NOTE at end]

It depends on what exactly you are doing. Provide a code sample.

This brings up an interesting oversight in the XSLT spec; the NOTE
referenced above should not be limited to newlines; it should also apply
to CRs and tabs, as well.
