The following is a demo how to successfully handle white-space only text nodes.
When run on any xml source, it will produce three spaces enclosed by the `
character.

xsl:text is used, but you may in the same way copy to the output any white-space
only child of any element (use xml:space="preserve" on this element).

Alternatively, set the "preserveWhiteSpace" of the DOMDocument to true.

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'
 version="1.0">
	<xsl:output method='text'/> 
	<xsl:template match="/">
   <!-- Three spaces enclosed by xsl:text -->
		`<xsl:text xml:space="preserve">   </xsl:text>`
	</xsl:template> 
</xsl:stylesheet> 


If you'd be producing white-space in a html text, in many contexts it is
ignored by the browser.

If this is the case use &#xA; or enclose your white-space containing text in
the <pre>, <q> or <blockquote> tags.

Is it by coincidence that people, who are cross-posting to 4 newsgroups usually have
such nasty problems? :))
