whitespace-stripping and document() 2005-09-21 - By Mukul Gandhi
I believe xsl:strip-space strips whitespace nodes from the primary
document and not from the secondry documents loaded with document()
function. I think you can strip whitespace nodes(ignore them) from
secondry documents using suitable XPath expressions.
