Re: [xsl] Which has priority xml:space="preserve" or xsl:strip-space

[Oleg Tkachenko <olegt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello!

See spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt.html#strip):
--------
A text node is preserved if any of the following apply:

    * The element name of the parent of the text node is in the set of 
whitespace-preserving element names.
    *The text node contains at least one non-whitespace character. As 
in XML, a whitespace character is #x20, #x9, #xD or #xA.
    *An ancestor element of the text node has an xml:space attribute 
with a value of preserve, and no closer ancestor element has xml:space 
with a value of default.
---------

Last bullet is true for all 5 white-space only text nodes, so I beleive
saxon is right.
