Re: [xsl] Selecting First Direct Sibling

   You are using XSLT 2.0
   You are using a schema-aware processor
   You have a schema
   The schema is parsed when the document tree is built


No, it also applies to basic (not schema aware processors) and DTD
specified element content.

saxon * B for example defaults to stripping white space in (dtd specified)
element content but has command line options to not do this or to strip
all white space (whether in element or mixed content)
 
  -sall           Strip all whitespace text nodes
  -signorable     Strip ignorable whitespace text nodes (default)
  -snone          Strip no whitespace text nodes
