Are you sure that isn't just an artefact of the white space being _added_ by indentation, rather than white space being preserved.
I rely heavily on leading blanks of to original text. For example, if you look at the source of http://free.pages.at/staudinger/Regest/Regesten/A1604-01-00-02017.xml (which uses http://free.pages.at/staudinger/Regest/view_regest.xsl for the client-side transformation), you see the element <zitat> with only text and whitespace as content. The <zitat> is simply transformed into a <blockquote> but the text is marked up with various <p> or <pre>, dependent on the indentation (currently number of leading blanks).
Good to know, a very interesting alternative indeed!You can in fact turn off the stripping, even in IE via the xsl-stylesheet PI where you don't have programmatic access to the parser, if you are prepared to put xml:space="preserve" into the source document (eg on the document element).
