<xsl:template name="getDepthFirstNumber">
<xsl:value-of select="count(ancestor::*) +
count(preceding::*)"/>
</xsl:template>

I am calling this template again and again in other
template using call-template.
The place where I use this, it gives me lots of spaces
and then the value is printed.

I tried using the strip-space also but it does not
work and it spoils my parent child calculations.
This is again a question why strip space messes my
parent child count etc?
