As many have noted, the spec is ambiguous on this. I think this is a symptom of SGML-itis among some of the XSL WG (myself included). In element content, whitespace is always stripped, and xsl:choose has element content. Of course, not only does element content never exist if there's no DTD, but a DTD can't even exist for XSL in general, so this assumption was entirely unwarranted. I would file a bug report against JD.xslt anyway - it's not out of conformance with the spec, but there are *lots* of stylesheets that do this, and it's certainly not *wrong* to ignore the whitespace. This is a bit of a problem for SGML-heads - just last week, I was startled when the element nodes from an <xsl:for-each> were all getting even values for position(). I had to explicitly say <xsl:for-each select="*"> to get what I wanted. d-: ~Chris - -- Christopher R. Maden, Principal Consultant, HMM Consulting Int'l, Inc.
