it depends how you define "bug"
it's a dcumented and frustrating incompatibility.

If you call msxml via script you can set a preservewhitespace flag to
turn off this behaviour, but if you directly pass the file to IE it
calls msxml with this flag helpfully set to be incompatible.

putting xml:space="preserve" at the top of your input file
turns this off.

Ah, good tip. (Rather abuses the intended semantics of xml:space, I think, particularly if it has to be at the *top* of the input. But I can try a couple of things now.)


Dion asked about Rafal's stylesheet. Nope, sorry, don't have one.

I'll bang on this a bit. Thanks to all.

Cheers,
Wendell
