I have no problem retaining the spaces in text-only > nodes (e.g., <THD> Blah Blah </THD). preserve-space would have no effect on that node as the text node is not all white. preserve-space strip-space (and Microsof'ts non conforming white space removal) only affect text nodes that _only_ consist of white space. If you are using a system that is using msxml to parse the XML and you can't set teh whitespace property before parsing then you can put xml:space="preserve" in your source file (eg on the top level element) with the same result. there is nothing you can do from XSLT as the spaces are removed by the parser before XSLT starts.
