When I tried this originally, the following happened (recreated):

T:\FTEMP>type test.xml
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<doc>
<para>Test 1</para>
<para>Test 2</para>
</doc>

T:\FTEMP>type test.xsl
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl";>

<xsl:template match="para">
    <xsl:process-children/><br />
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

T:\FTEMP>call xsl test.xml test.xsl test.htm
T:\FTEMP>type test.htm

Test 1<br/>
Test 2<br/>

T:\FTEMP>


As you can see, XT's XML processor is throwing away the ignorable
whitespace in the BR tag and will not preserve the space in the tag that is
emitted.

If this had worked, I wouldn't have resorted to the bogus="bogus" attribute
trick.
