I think you just want <xsl:template match="*"/> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> This answer is the best, I think. The problem with normalizing space on all text nodes is that it turns <TITLE>This is <S>not</S> a normal title</TITLE> Into <TITLE>This is<S>not</S>a normal title</TITLE> which won't do. The alternative to David's translate() -- thinkable in some situations, and having the virtue of collapsing runs of spaces -- is to normalize, then put back spaces around inline elements like <S> above. The problem with this technique is knowing when to put them back and when not to: sometimes the heuristics can get pretty hairy, and sometimes (for example if you're using subscripts to do things like H<sub>2</sub>O) impossible.
