Re: [xsl] strip-spaces

[Robert Koberg <rob@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Something like:

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

<xsl:template match="node()"/>

<xsl:template match="*">
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
