Re: [xsl] Functional Equivalent of strip-space on Collection Documents

 Thanks to both Martin and Dr. Kay. I see that I was under a wrong impression.
I'll not speculate as to how that ill-formed notion was acquired.
Everyone enjoy the weekend.

 The XSLT 2.0 specification states, as regards xsl:strip-space, that it
applies to all source trees, and specifically:

For the purposes of this section, the termB source treeB means the document
containing theB initial context node, and any document returned by the
functionsB document,B docFO, orB collectionFO. It does not include documents
passed as the values ofB stylesheet parametersB or returned fromB extension
functions.

Using: XSLT 2.0.
Goal: Use functional equivalent of strip-space on collection documents.
Perhaps I'm mistaken but using XSLT 2.0 I don't think there is a way to use
<xsl:strip-space> on documents that are being processed in a collection.
That's because strip-space applies only to the input document and, using 2.0,
the collection will be processed not via the input document (which is merely a
place holder) but via a variable. At least that's how I'm doing it now.
So, given all that, how would you implement a functional equivalent of
strip-space on collection documents using XSLT 2.0 and a place-holder input
document?
Perhaps there's a way to get all the unput documents via the input document
(for example, using xi:include in the input document to reference the document
corpus, but that's sub-optimal when you want to run a collection on a folder
and potentially subfolders.
Thanks in advance,
Don
