I think if you set indent="no" in the xsl:output tag of your XSL, it removes all the extra white spaces between the XML nodes (I tested this a while ago, if my memory is right then it should work).

<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="no" indent="no"/>

If you know Ant, another way to remove extra white spaces is with
Apache Ant Build.
as shown in the example here:
