OK, thanx Michael and David, let me see if we can fix that problem using
msxsl.exe:

Input (iw.xml):

<html>
<head><title>test</title></head>
<body>
<b>this</b> <span>typical</span> <a href="">document</a>

<p>It was a <i>long</i> <i>hard</i> winter.</p>

</body>
</html>

XSL (iw.xsl):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">

<xsl:output indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="/html">
   <xsl:copy>
     <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
   </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
   <xsl:copy>
     <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
   </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>


Output using msxml.exe (4.0) within Xselerator 2.6:
<html>
<head>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-16">
<title>test</title>
</head>
<body><b>this</b><span>typical</span><a href="">document</a><p>It was a
<i>long</i><i>hard</i> winter.</p>
</body>
</html>


Output using mxsxl.exe:

C:\Documents and Settings\psiegers>msxsl -t -u 4.0 "E:\My
Documents\Marrowsoft\mySamples\2004\02nov04 - inter-word spacing\iw.xml"
"E:\My Documents\Marrowsoft\mySamples\2004\02nov04 - inter-word
spacing\iw.xsl"
<html>
<head>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-16">
<title>test</title>
</head>
<body>

<b>this</b> <span>typical</span> <a href="">document</a>

<p>It was a <i>long</i> <i>hard</i> winter.</p>

</body>
</html>

Microsoft (R) XSLT Processor Version 4.0

Source document load time:     17.40 milliseconds
Stylesheet document load time: 26.43 milliseconds
Stylesheet compile time:       6.830 milliseconds
Stylesheet execution time:     .776 milliseconds

Well, it looks like msxsl.exe does make msxml work like it should; you can
make it work as if it was Saxon, from the command line at least. Problem
with mxsl.exe is that it shows the output with spaces inserted after each
outputted character, which I (carefully) removed in the above output. Don't
know why they appear though, and appearently there's no option to just get
the output "as-is".

Cheers,
<prs/>

> Would you happen to have a typical example of that? 

run an identity transform, eg the one in the xslt rec over

<html>
<head><title>test</title></head>
<body>
<b>this</b> <span>typical</span> <a href="">document</a> </body> </html>
