It's a common expectation that with XSLT 1.0, you will see the inter-element whitespace unless you use xsl:strip-space to get rid of it; but what the spec actually says is "A transformation expressed in XSLT describes rules for transforming a source tree into a result tree. ", and it says very little about how that source tree might be constructed. A processor that strips whitespace without the user's say-so might be extremely annoying, but it is is not non-conformant.
