process-children-trim works for me:

<!doctype style-sheet PUBLIC "-//James Clark//DTD DSSSL Style
Sheet//EN">

(element test 
	(sosofo-append 
		(literal "[BEFORE]")
		(process-children-trim)
		(literal "[AFTER]" )))

<!DOCTYPE TEST[
<!ELEMENT TEST O O (#PCDATA|TEST)*>
]>
<TEST>

This is a test

</TEST>

---

[BEFORE]This is a test[AFTER]

Note that process-children-trim only works right if it is applied
directly to the element which contains the whitespace. For example:

<!doctype style-sheet PUBLIC "-//James Clark//DTD DSSSL Style
Sheet//EN">

(element main
	(sosofo-append 
		(literal "[BEFORE]")
		(process-children-trim)
		(literal "[AFTER]" )))

---

<!DOCTYPE MAIN[
<!ELEMENT MAIN O O (TEST+)>
<!ELEMENT TEST O O (#PCDATA)>
]>
<TEST>

This is a test

</TEST>

---
[BEFORE]
This is a test
[AFTER]

input-whitespace-treatment also seems to work for me:

<!doctype style-sheet PUBLIC "-//James Clark//DTD DSSSL Style
Sheet//EN">

(element main
	(make sequence input-whitespace-treatment: 'collapse
		(literal "[BEFORE]")
		(process-children)
		(literal "[AFTER]" )))

ArcEngine is almost certainly unrelated to what you are doing, unless
you are working with SGML Architectures.
