On second thought, your original stylesheet will have to change, because
<xsl:strip-space/> won't strip whitespace-only text nodes that have been
force-preserved using xml:space="preserve" (which will be true for all
whitespace in your document if you put that at the root element).
Instead of using <xsl:strip-space/> (and <xsl:preserve-space/>), you
could use a template rule that processes whitespace-only text nodes that
are not children of <element1> or <element2>:
<xsl:template match="*[not(self::element1 or
self::element2)]/text()[not(normalize-space())]"/>
The rule is empty and thus has the effect of "stripping" them from the
result.
Let me know if that works. :-)

Pankaj,
You can force MSXML to preserve whitespace by adding
xml:space="preserve" to the root element of your document. Then your
original stylesheet should work as desired. Let me know if that works.

Well anyways David/Michael thanks for looking into this.

I believe it's true that the AltovaXML processor always strips
whitespace
nodes (or calls the MSXML parser in a way that strips them) and I'm not
aware of any way of changing this.
