If so, instead of using something like <xsl:output method="html"
version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/> in your xsl, try using
something like


<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"
omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="*">
<html>
<head>
<title>Title</title>
<meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
http-equiv="Content-type"></meta>
</head>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</body>
</html>



Right, just to follow up, using indent="yes", in my testing, sometimes adds whitespace where it will change the browser's rendering of the page (only if the output method="xml", for method="html", does not seem to be a problem). I was wrestling over this yesterday, and basically an html document that has:
<img name="foo" src="foo.gif" width="10" height="10"/><img name="bar" src="bar.gif" width="10" height="10"/>


will display differently than:

<img name="foo" src="foo.gif" width="10" height="10"/>

<img name="bar" src="bar.gif" width="10" height="10"/>

The whitespace seems to push them apart, and indent="yes" can introduce this whitespace.

I realize that this is getting off-topic, so I'll cut it here.
