I use xml-stylesheet PI and if the xml is served to IE this is how the XSLT
is initiated. However with <xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"/>
I found IE _is_ preserving the whitespace while with indent="no" the
whitespace gets striped.
I cannot say for sure how the MS XML parser works, but if you think about
"conditional comments", it may be possible, that parsing is done in more
than one stage.
