Re: [xsl] Removing unwanted space

["Joel Kalvesmaki director@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Charles,

This question seems to need more specificity. People can reasonably 
disagree on details, especially if a space appears to be an object of 
markup, or there are expectations further downstream about space 
explicitly tagged/formatted. For example, in the following variation...

<p>
   <anchor> </anchor>
   The rain in <bold> <underline> Spain </underline> </bold> <italic> is 
</italic> wet.
</p>

...what is the expected output?
