Hi,

maybe a rookie problem again. I apply the following XSL to any XML document to omit all whitespaces from non-content data. But the result still has all the whitespaces as in the source.

<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="no"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


Example XML (output is identical):
<myroot>
  <innernode/>
</myroot>

Expected Output:
<myroot><innernode/></myroot>

Maybe I am missing something, and (to make it worse) I am sure it worked once before the way I wanted it to.

Thanks in advance,
Stefan
