Excluding matches - still having problems

Hello all,

I'm still having trouble with my excluding matches template.  I am stumped :
(.  I have been through David and Wendell's suggestions, I feel I am close,
but not sure what is going wrong.
My parser, by the way is MSXML 4.0.

I'm not sure where to go (but here).  I am including all 3 sources to
review, here they are:

XSLT DOCUMENT:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
      xmlns:s="uuid:BDC6E3F0-6DA3-11d1-A2A3-00AA00C14882"
      xmlns:dt="uuid:C2F41010-65B3-11d1-A29F-00AA00C14882"
      xmlns:rs="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:rowset"
      xmlns:z="#RowsetSchema"
      exclude-result-prefixes="s dt rs z">
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:param name="excludes"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
 <xsl:apply-templates select="xml/rs:data/z:row"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="z:row">
 <xsl:if test="not($excludes/ID=@submitid)">
     <xsl:call-template name="addval"/>
    </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="addval">
 <xsl:value-of select="@submitid"/>
    <xsl:if test="position()!=last()">
    <xsl:text>,</xsl:text>
    </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

XML SOURCE FOR IDS:

<xml xmlns:s="uuid:BDC6E3F0-6DA3-11d1-A2A3-00AA00C14882"

  <z:row submitid="815260"/>
  <z:row submitid="915219"/>
  <z:row submitid="1010050"/>
  <z:row submitid="1010051"/>
  <z:row submitid="1010072"/>
  <z:row submitid="1010107"/>
  <z:row submitid="1010120"/>
 </rs:data>
</xml>


=======XML SOURCE FOR ID'S TO BE EXCLUDED

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<EXCLUDE><ID reason="User Excluded">815260</ID><ID reason="User Excluded">
915219</ID><ID reason="User Excluded"> 1010107</ID></EXCLUDE>


... oh geez, as I post this, i do believe i see the problem (spaces in the
ID!!!).
Ugggg... I will fix the source generating script, however, what would be the
best way to fix this in my stylesheet (normalize-space)?
