Hi Daniel,

Concerning the html output method, the XSLT Rec. 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.

So I think that it's legal for Saxon to add indentation at this top
level; of course it's also legal not to.

Good point.

Cheers,
