Extra line break with xslt processor

[Luis Miguel Morillas]

I'm working with this xslt transform http://paste2.org/p/2093093 The
result of the processor is http://paste2.org/p/2093095 I think
amara's xslt processor adds line feeds. Is it ok? The result with
xsltproc is http://paste2.org/p/2093096

Is it a bug or is something wrong with the stylesheet (or I'm I not
understandig it :-P)

Regards,

I'd hoped to find time to delve into the code here, but I think what's happening is not that amara is adding linebreaks but that it's not applying the xsl:strip-space command. Out of curiosity, if you remove that, does the xsltproc result match the Amara result?

Even though this one might be an Amara bug, in general xsltproc is a very bad processor to use to figure out correct behavior. Its standards compliance is rather poor.  It's better to compare to Saxon.

Ok. This is the Saxon result with xsl:strip-space command [1] I think
Amara's not running ok the xsl:strip-space command (same result as
Saxon without xsl:strip-space command) I'll investigate better
tomorrow with other tests.
