XSLT has somewhat unintuitive rules for how it handles whitespace
and newlines. You did not provide an example of what you want to
accomplish, so I guess you meant extraneous whitespace.

An identity transform as discussed in the XSLT spec under "Copying"
(xsl:copy), with the addition of

  <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="no"/>

is probably what you want.
