If I remember right, someone claimed long ago that MSXML (and probably its derivatives) counted itself an "XML application", not an "XML processor", and thereby gave itself the right to discard whitespace. It's not so bad in MSXML itself, as you can set the preserveWhiteSpace property before parsing which gives you more standard behaviour, but it produces completely horrible behaviour in IE, where you don't get an opportunity to set this flag, It's virtually impossible to style an input document <p> <b>this<b> <i>is</b> <span class="zzz">bad</span> </p> using (say) XSLT in IE6 without losing the interword spaces, which is a shame as otherwise it would be quite possible to use XSLT to give XHTML (1 and 2) rendering in IE.
