I discovered that if I put the CSS into a string variable using the @select attribute, linefeeds are not preserved in the output; but if I put the CSS text into a sequence constructor, the linefeeds are preserved in the output. What's the underlying reason, assuming this isn't implementation-dependent? (I'm testing with Saxon; XSLT 2 and 3 produce identical results.)
