If you're providing input and output (a good idea), you should provide
the xsl you used as well, and probably the processor.

You'll notice a lot of the xsl posted here starts with something like:

  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
  <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

What you're probably looking for is xsl:strip-space .
