Indeed.

My xslt files are too big to add to the list but a few templates are:
<xsl:template match="text()">
<xsl:if test="local-name(..)!='givenname'">
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>

I see in the above that you are explicitly adding a space before every text node that isn't a child of "givenname" ... so for <place> the built-in template will push the child text node through the template rule and you will get a space before the place name.

It also explains why you get the space before the comma. Here is your original question:

sitten paikka <place>Bromarf</place>, jonka perdssd pilkku

The result in html is

ja sitten paikka Bromarf , jonka perdssd pilkku

First, the text node ending in "sitten paikka" has the first space, then the text node below <place> adds the second space. Then, the text node ", jonka" is processed and your template adds a space before that as well, so you end up with a space before and after the <place> text node.

So, the processor is doing exactly what you ask: for every text node that is not a child of "givenname", add a space before adding the text node.

I hope this helps.
