David,

Hm, this is good to know.

At 05:30 PM 8/21/2007, you wrote:
   You are using XSLT 2.0
   You are using a schema-aware processor
   You have a schema
   The schema is parsed when the document tree is built

No, it also applies to basic (not schema aware processors) and DTD
specified element content.

saxon * B for example defaults to stripping white space in (dtd specified)
element content but has command line options to not do this or to strip
all white space (whether in element or mixed content)

  -sall           Strip all whitespace text nodes
  -signorable     Strip ignorable whitespace text nodes (default)
  -snone          Strip no whitespace text nodes

I take it that "DTD-specified element content" relies on a DOCTYPE declaration and the usual negotiation across SYSTEM or PUBLIC identifiers to find the DTD. And that this would apply to all XML-parsed input, not just the main source document.


Cheers,
Wendell
