The conditions for stripping space are not controlled solely by the
xml:space attribute. You must also check the xsl:preserve-space and
xsl:strip-space directives. In particular, for stylesheet documents,
xsl:text has preserve-space semantics.
A processor that does not faithfully reproduce the whitespace
characters in an xsl:text element is not a conforming xslt processor.
