The XSLT specification says that the whitespace-only text nodes must
be preserved if you use xml:space="preserve" on one of their ancestors
(with no closer xml:space="default"), and it says that the xsl:choose
element consists of a sequence of xsl:when elements followed by an
optional xsl:otherwise element.

I think you could read it either way, though I think that reading it
as saying that whitespace-only text nodes are allowed between the
elements is the more reasonable interpretation. Perhaps you should
raise it on xsl-editors@w3.org for clarification as well as as a
jd.xslt bug to Johannes.

Out of interest, why do you need to have xml:space="preserve" on all
your stylesheets?

Cheers,

Jeni
