No. it's a difference between XSLT 1 and 2, and DTD-less vs. with a DTD. The _only_ whitespace that can officially be dropped by an XML parser is when a DTD is in use and the DYD says an elememt only has elmeent children, not #PCDATA. oher schemas, such as W3C XSD or RelaxNG, are processed _after_ the XML is parsed and such spaces have been (or not been) dropped based on the DTD. What is processor-dependent is ways to mitigate this when it's a difficulty. Note (there was another thread on this recently) that a language defined in XML can say that white-space in certain context is ignored, as happend when an XSLT stylesheet itself is read.
