You need to identity where the whitespace comes from. There's nothing wrong
with your code below. Whitespace comes from one of three places
(a) it can be copied from the stylesheet
(b) it can be coped from the source document
(c) it can be generated by indent="yes" on xsl:output.

Usually looking at what is adjacent to the unwanted whitespace tells you the
answer.
