Wendell is right though, it's much easier to use normalize-space() instead:
	<xsl:template match="text()[not(normalize-space())]"/>
or - (even better!) - get a different transformer that actually implements
<xsl:strip-space>...

Have a look at Mike's article at http://skew.org/xml/tutorial. It takes a
bit
of re-reading (for some of us anyway :) but it's good to get a bit of
precision...
