Would you happen to have a typical example of that? Until now we haven't had
problems with inter-word space being dropped, at least not that I know of.
It would be useful to know as some of our developers are about to jump to
use XML and XSLT in their web apps. TIA

Cheers,

  Personally, in some cases, I don't see a problem in stripping the white
  space; in fact, in the HTML world, stripping white space can even optimize
  the way browsers renders a given page. Extra whitespace between elements
  (and carriage returns) can introduce differences at the pixel render
  position level. That's why we prefer to use long one-liners without
  whitespace and CRs - ugly, but necessary.


trouble is in the html world it can often result in inter-word space being
dropped as msxml drops all white space text nodes not just those in element
content.
