Re: [xsl] strip-spaces

[Steven Ericsson-Zenith <steven@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, this seemed plausible to me also - so I had already deleted the  
header by hand and tried it - but to no good effect - it made no  
difference. But, thanks for the reminder, I'll make this a permanent  
change.

The page that illustrates the problem best is this one:

	http://senses.info/explaining-experience-in-nature/introductory-remarks/

It works fine in Safari and Firefox - and the problem remains if you  
turn off the scripting. It is definitely a layout problem.

With respect,
Steven
