Presumably the "/" before housenumber, etc, is a typo? As written, you're
selecting the housenumber etc only if it is the document element: and they
can't *all* be the document element!

It shouldn't be, unless your stylesheet is using xml:space="preserve"
somewhere. The whitespace text nodes between the <xsl:value-of> elements
should have been stripped. What product are you using?

Stranger and stranger. What product are you using?

1. use an XSL processor that conforms to the standard
2. write <xsl:value-of select="concat(housenumber, ' ', streetname, ' ',
suffix)"/>;
or if you don't mind verbosity, insert the spaces using <xsl:text>.
