I noticed that XALAN 2.7.1 makes a difference between
<when>
  x
</when>
(Result includes line breaks and blanks)

and
<when>
  <xsl:text>x</xsl:text>
</when>
(Result includes only 'x' wihout breaks or blanks).

Is that a bug or is that wanted behaviour?

I think white space only text nodes in a stylesheet are supposed to get stripped (unless they are inside of xsl:text of course) so the behaviour is fine (http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#strip)
