xsl:preserve-space will only alter the set of element names specified to
xsl:strip-space.

I'm not familiar how PHP handles this, but a glance at this page:

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.xslt.php

which includes a description of this directive:

XSLT_SABOPT_DISABLE_STRIPPING (integer)
Suppress the whitespace stripping (on data files only). 

suggests you are using sablotron and not libxslt, per this note:

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.xslt.php#59398


Check your version and your configuration.


HTH,

Mike
