Maybe the '\n\t' nodes you are seeing in the output stem from whitespace 
in the source. See the note before 
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#id-in-data-model : You might have thought 
that it is ignorable whitespace, but maybe your XML parser thought 
differently about that? And then these WS nodes are being sent to the 
output because of the built-in template rule for text nodes: 
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#built-in-rule
Just an idea, but difficult to judge without a working example of input, 
stylesheet and expected output (as Martin already pointed out, there 
might be a mismatch between NODE and ELEM, so it's some guessing and 
extrapolation is already needed to identify the actual issue).
