I have the same problem. Using XSLTProcessor from php5 will return the espected output, but using tidy with input-xml = true as parameter, will not preserve this space after an end tag anymore:

<ul>
  <li><a href="/">caption</a> descritpion</li>
<ul>

becomes to

<ul>
  <li><a href="/">caption</a>descritpion</li>
<ul>

in the output using php5 and tidy. So, either I disable tidy (and get unformatted output) or I use the following by-pass, to solve the problem:

According to http://thewml.org/distrib/wml-SNAP/wml_aux/tidy/tidy.txt (search for "a nonbreaking space") and http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/nbsp.html#d7293e207, I have replaced the space after the end tag with "&#160;". That makes:

<ul>
  <li><a href="/">caption</a>&#160;descritpion</li>
<ul>

and returns the same as output. But I'm not satisfied of this "solution". I keep on searching for a "real" solution.
