xsl stylesheet:
<xsl:template match="div|p|b|u|i">
   <xsl:copy><xsl:apply-templates/></xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

xml:
<div><p>here is some <b>bold</b> and <i>italic</i> text</p></div>

My expected output was:
<div><p>here is some <b>bold</b> and <i>italic</i> text</p></div>

However, the space is getting stripped, so the actual output is:
<div><p>here is some <b>bold</b>and<i>italic</i>text</p></div>

Thanks,
