what are you doing that riggers the transform?  My guess would be
ignoring whitespace.

This is JDK 1.5's builtin XSLT processor, right?

The stylesheet used is trivial and it is correct.  Unfortunately Sun
decided to ship a pretty buggy version of XSLTC instead of Xalan-J
with the JDK.

The best advice I can give is that you use a different XSLT
processor.  Download Xalan-J or Saxon or GNU JAXP and either use
JAXP's endorsed override mechanism or XMLUnit's options to use this
other processor.
