The XSLT 1.0 specification does not prescribe a collating sequence, it is left to the implementation. It looks as if the particular processor you are using is ignoring spaces in its collation. This is a perfectly legitimate technique, even if it isn't the one you want. Check whether your chosen processor has any way of customizing the collation (or switch to a different processor).
