Whitespace in tags

From: John Gordon <gordon@-----.--->
To: NULL

My XSLT files have many occurrences of this general pattern:

<a>
	<xsl:attribute name="href">
		<xsl:value-of select="xyz" />
	</xsl:attribute>
</a>

When I execute an XSL transform, the resulting HTML looks like this:

<a href="xyz%0A%09%09">

... because *everything* between the opening and closing attribute tags
is being included, even the carriage return after the opening attribute
tag and the tabs before the value-of tag.

Is there a way to avoid this behavior?  I tried adding
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/> at the top of the file, but it appeared to
have no effect.
