strip-space strips white space text nodes. ie text nodes that only have white space. <links> <link> testing pre-stripping</link> the first child of <links> is a text node consisting of a newline and a space. If you had specifed strip-space for links then this would be removed and so the first child would be the link element. the link element only has one child, a text node. As it contains non white space characters it is not removed. If you want to remove the space from front and back, use the normalize-space function. <link > the white space inside a start tag is never even reported by the XML parser so never has any effect.
