I think there may be a problem with Sablotron and <xsl:strip-space> tags.

I'm using Sablotron with PHP to generate HTML (and other text based outputs) from a couple different stylesheets and XML data being pulled from my db.

When I run all my stylesheets on the command line with Instant Saxon (by Michael Kay), the output looks just like I want it to.  However, the output generated by PHP/Sablotron is messed up, because there are too many newline characters in the output.

If I have
<text><page><para><mylist><mylistitem>listitem</mylistitem></mylist></para></page></text>

I get the correct output:
---- begin output ----
* listitem
---- end output ----

However, since this XML isn't very human readable, I reformat my XML input to this:
<text>
  <page>
    <para>
      <myliist>
        <mylistitem>listitem</mylistitem>
      </mylist>
    </para>
  </page>
</text>

Instant Saxon treats these two XML inputs as the same thing and produces the same output, since <xsl:strip-space elements="*" /> appears in the stylesheet.  However, the PHP/Sablotron translation gives me this:
---- begin output ----




* listitem




---- end output ----

I've also sent this note to the sab-bugs@gingerall people.
