Hi!
Try this template instead
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
   <xsl:copy>
     <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
   </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

I supose that the attribute nodes does't get selected in the node()
function, so, when you do a match="node()" you are selecting all nodes
except attribute nodes, but these also have text nodes (that contain
there values) and these are selected by the match="node()"

I tried the solution.  It definitely seems like the right direction.  It

did transformations of all the whitespace elements, as you said it 
would.  thanks.

However, the transformation has an unintended effect of moving all 
attribute values to the content of an element.

For example
             <td width="40" />
             <td width="550">
                <p>
                   <whitespace lines="8" inches="1.25" />
                   <p align="right">

Was transformed to:
             <td>40</td>
             <td>
                550
                <p>
                   <p>


Thanks.  Still working at it!
