[xsl] transforming from xml to text -- creates a blank line on the first line

Hi! I'm running an xsl file that converts a xml file to a text file (in InDesign Tags format) however there is always a blank line on the 1st line on the output which i think is reserved for the xml declaration. I used omit-xml-declaration on xsl:output but the line is still there, how can i remove that line? Also, in generating the text output a lot of blank lines are created how can i avoid these? Does the xsl:apply-templates create an automatic newline?

The major interpretive difficulty in this text is that while in Ps. 68:18 Yahweh “receives” (&tavhb;&hethb;&qofhb;&lamedhb;; &epsoxgr;&lgr;&agr;&bgr;&egr;&sfgr;) gifts from men, in Eph. 4:8 Christ “gives” (&epsoxgr;&dgr;&ohgr;&kgr;&egr;&ngr;) gifts to the church, a change by the writer which, according to C. L. Mitton, “almost reverses the meaning of the actual text.”<note place="foot" n="1">C.L. Mitton, <hi rend="italic">Ephesians</hi> (London: Oliphants, 1976) 145.</note> It is also difficult to discern just what the author means by speaking of the descent and ascent of Christ, and what relationship this movement has to the quotation from Psalm 68. These problems are well-known, but thus far have proved intractable. After surveying the current interpretive options, P. T. O’Brien concludes that “None of the above-mentioned suggestions fully solves this difficult crux.”<note place="foot" n="2">P.T. O’Brien, <hi rend="italic">Ephesians</hi> (PNTC; Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1999) 293. For a rehearsal of proposed solutions, see R.
