RE: [xsl] Collapsing run-on tag chains not working in saxon or xa lan

And if you use preserveWhiteSpace=true when loading the XML? 
Or using the msxsl.exe wrapper in a COM object, or an ActiveX control?
That should do the job I think.

If you are calling msxml from script on the client there isn't a problem. If
you are not, I don't see how changing teh default version of msxml can help,
they all default to whitespace stripping. As I said before it is mainly the
xml-stylesheet API that is broken by this.

msxml4 strips white space just like its predecessors.
