If your application uses mixed content, be careful that strip-space doesn't
bite you in the butt: there is an unpleasant side-effect that the space
between two adjacent elements will be removed even in mixed content, even
using a Schema or DTD where the XSLT application ought to know better, eg

<para>Remove <part no="abc123">the nut</part> <emph>anti-clockwise</emph>...

will give you "Remove the nutanti-clockwise". This isn't a bug: it's just 
rather sloppy design -- so strip-space really does mean what it says, 
and has been implemented for use in "data" XML rather than "document" 
applications which use mixed content models where white-space nodes should 
be normalized to a single space token, not normalized out of existence.
