xml:preserve space makes xsl:attribute fail in IE6

xml preserve
Hello -

I searched the archives for this string and got no results.
Maybe it's a known problem so I apologise if I have misunderstood :

For my xsl stylesheet, using

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0" xml:space="preserve"> in IE6, I had a problem.

I found that when using the xsl:attribute construct like this, no attributes were added to my anchor tag (by checking the HTML source)

        <a>
        <xsl:attribute name="href">
                <xsl:value-of select="@start"/>
        </xsl:attribute>
        <xsl:value-of select="title"/>
        </a>

I used the space="preserve" to keep my HTML tidy and readable. Finally after trying a number of otherwise working examples, I removed space="preserve" from the stylesheet tag and presto, the attribute was added as expected.

I am transforming the XML source in javascript, setting up an XML object with MSXML2.DOMDocument ...

Questions : is there a known problem with preserve space on IE6 ?

Would this occur if I were to transform the XML server side (is it a javascript problem) ?

Is there any other way to keep the HTML output formatting as indented in the stylesheet ?

Thanks for any feedback.
Regards,
Neil Smith.
