He stated the requirement of 'preserving whitespace', which is why I
didn't suggest this method. He apparently needs to do something (what?)
with the whitespace-only text nodes that come between his <head> and
<text> elements. I couldn't tell what he wanted, though. Anyway that's why
I didn't suggest the above solution, and held off on mentioning xsl:number
because I still wouldn't know for sure what he wanted to do with the
whitespace. :)
