Just a short remark: if you specify indent="yes" then IE does _not_ eliminate
all whitespace. This only occurs with indent="no".

I believe this is a misunderstanding: whitespace elimination is something that happens when the source is read in, not on serializing. Maybe this is a bug, but I never had any trouble or noticed any difference with this on or off. For serialization (i.e., reusing and/or stringizing the DOM representation of the result tree), the indent=yes has no effect whatsoever (just tested with some XSLT files, I did not see a difference at all, neither with FF).

But maybe I am mistaken and there are situations where this is a difference. Can you point me to some example?
