If this is your stylesheet, you have no xml:space definitions in your
stylesheet, and it comes out as

<tr>
      <td bgcolor="#bdced6"><img alt="" height="1"
width="1"src="/includes/assets/2004Design/spacer.gif" /> </td>
</tr>

Then your serializer is doing something funny. Or rather, the spec
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#section-HTML-Output-Method> says:

  "If the indent attribute has the value yes, then the html output method may
add or remove whitespace as it outputs the result tree, so long as it does not
change how an HTML user agent would render the output. The default value is
yes."

Maybe your XSLT engine gets it wrong and adds whitespace into places it
shouldn't.

What's your xsl:output/@indent setting? Try with "no".
