Re: format <xsl:message> output

<xsl:message terminate="no">
  [<xsl:value-of select="$type"/> | <xsl:value-of select="$task"/> |
'<xsl:value-of select="$location"/>'] 
  <xsl:value-of select="$message"/>
</xsl:message>

That xsl:message includes three newline characters and lots of spaces
that will be copied to the message. The last newline after 
 <xsl:value-of select="$message"/>
will be skipped as it is in a white-space text node, but all the others
are in text nodes that contain printing characters such as ] so will not
be skipped. You want to keep the indentation to be in its own text nodes
so that it is all ignored:


<xsl:message terminate="no">
  <xsl:text>[</xsl:text>
  <xsl:value-of select="$type"/>
  <xsl:text> | </xsl:text>
  <xsl:value-of select="$task"/>
  <xsl:text> | '</xsl:text>
  <xsl:value-of select="$location"/>
  <xsl:text>']</xsl:text>
  <xsl:value-of select="$message"/>
</xsl:message>

Then at least XSLT will put the message out as a single line (I don't know ant
well enough to know if it will definitely not wrap it)
