Whitespace-only text nodes in the stylesheet are stripped by default.
>From http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#strip:
For stylesheets, the set of whitespace-preserving element
names consists of just xsl:text.
So if you were expecting whitespace-only text nodes from your stylesheet
to be reflected in your result, you need to wrap them in xsl:text
elements.
All that XSLT 1.0 says about '<xsl:output indent="yes" />' is:
indent specifies whether the XSLT processor may add
additional whitespace when outputting the result tree;
the value must be yes or no [1]
so you're not even guaranteed to get an indented result even when you use
'indent="yes"' (but it practice it is universally supported AFAICT).
The specification for outputting the DOCTYPE declaration in XML output is:
If the doctype-system attribute is specified, the xml
output method should output a document type declaration
immediately before the first element.
which is what you got, since the start-tag of the first element
immediately follows the DOCTYPE declaration. You could try:
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates select="data/params" />
</xsl:template>
but it would be possible for the XSLT 1.0 processor to follow the letter
of the spec and omit the line break added from content of the xsl:text, so
YMMV.
