RE: [xsl] XSLT2.0 compatibility

["Lin, Jessica" <jlin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

How should I preserve the space of the xml for human reading? I found
indent="yes" is not good enough. I have to run prttey-print command in
xml spy edit environment to see a good indent xml file.

No. Before copying the attribute nodes you generate a child text node
with (a couple of newlines and a couple of tab characters)

  <xsl:template match="boot_object"
xml:space="preserve">SSSSSS<advanced_boot_object>SS<!-- The error line
is below-->SS<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>

Normally the indentation in the stylesheet is ignored but you have asked
for it to be preserved (and copied to the output) by using xml:space and
so all those "S" (really whitespace characters) make text nodes.

You almost never want to use  xml:space="preserve" on an xsl namespace
element.
