RE: [xsl] Collapsing run-on tag chains not working in saxon or xa lan

Hi Wendell, I have used Michael's and David's example (which I actually have seen more times on the list in the past) to work on a solution using the msxsl.exe utility. I had posted another email a while ago about using the msxsl.exe wrapper and MSXML 4.0 to produce correct results using the encoding "UTF-8" in the stylesheet's xsl:output. Will send it again.

TIA Do you want a real-world example, or is the "extraspecial" toy example I just provided a clear enough illustration? Note: this infelicity is not very common in absolute terms, but it is also unavoidable by any means other than getting the parser/processor to behave (you can't reliably put those spaces back). And if it's only as common as two elements appearing adjacently in mixed content with only whitespace between, still it's visible -- glaringly so, to the reading eye -- and as you may know, typographers and layout designers are touchy creatures. As are many readers altogether.
