Whitespace behaviour

Hi!

I'm trying to do an XML-->HTML transformation using XSL (presnting the 
report in IE). I have a question about whitespace/linefeeds.
If I in my xsl file have the following:

<!--Example 1 -->
<xsl:value-of select="Address"/>
<xsl:value-of select="Zipcode"/>
<xsl:value-of select="City"/>
<xsl:value-of select="Country"/>

all values are presented in one line without any spaces (or linefeeds).

If I add a &nbsp; the space is doubled between values (still on one line)

<!--Example 2 -->
<xsl:value-of select="Address"/>&#160;
<xsl:value-of select="Zipcode"/>&#160;
<xsl:value-of select="City"/>&#160;
<xsl:value-of select="Country"/>&#160;


However if I put all in one line like
<!--Example 3 -->
<xsl:value-of select="Address"/>&#160;<xsl:value-of 
select="Zipcode"/>&#160;<xsl:value-of select="City"/>&#160;<xsl:value-of 
select="Country"/>&#160;

there is just one space between the values which is what I want. Why will it 
be zero space in the first, double space in the second and one space in the 
third example?

I would like to do it like example2 since I will also add logic if fields 
are empty etc (don't want to add a space if a field is empty) but I don't 
want two spaces between the values.

Regards
/Hans
