I'm using XSL to convert XML to tab-delimited text and I'm
having problems with added carraige returns. The code looks
like this:

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:text>FIELD1&#9;FIELD2&#9;FIELD3</xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="record">
<xsl:value-of select="field_1" /><xsl:text>&#9;</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="field_2" /><xsl:text>&#9;</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="field_3" />
</xsl:template>

And the output ends up looking like this:

FIELD1	FIELD2	FIELD3

data1.1	data1.2	data1.3

data2.1	data2.2	data2.3

data3.1	data3.2	data3.3
...

In short, I'm gaining newlines where none are indicated in
my stylesheet. The bitter irony of this is that up till now,
I've been having problems with whitespace getting excessively
trimmed. I get this behavior with XT and Saxon, but not with
XJParser. Is there something in the spec I'm missing?

Thanks,
Chris
