Still evaluates to true.

That is what I initially thought, so I tried adding

	<xsl:strip-space elements="plist dict"/>

and then

	<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

Shouldn't that take care of any white-space-only text nodes? Adding those
lines does not change the result.

The plist files follows http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd. It is
not a syntax that I can choose.
