i would recc using the xsl:stylesheet tag for conformity ( though not
required ), instead of xsl:transform

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";

</xsl:stylesheet>

try using <xsl:output method="html"/> to force your parser into outputting
proper html

whitespace ( tabs, spaces, newlines etc ) are controlled by a number of
methods

- <xsl:strip-space elements=""/> or <xsl:preserve-space/>
- use xml:space attribute in source xml
- use normalize-space() function

otherwise u may have to tell us which parser and on what OS for us to know
your problem.
