Re: XSL 2.0 and .NET and VB

No, I mean that once the XML parser gives documents to the
XSLT processor, the XSLT processor strip some whitespeace
nodes.  For both XML input documents and stylesheets.  The
rules (for XSLT 1.0 as we are speaking about web browser)
are there:
   http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#strip

 Actually, this is still a problem if you use @xml:space in
your stylesheet to preserve some whitespace nodes in literal
result elements, instead of using xsl:text.  Hence your
advice: always use xsl:text for significant characters
