This Xalan version 2.2.D6 causes problems in HTML output when <xsl:attribute> tags contain carriage returns and spaces in the XSL file. Previous versions of Xalan ignored the spaces, but this one doesn't seem too. We have had to edit hundreds of XSL documents to place the start tag, <xsl:attribute>, and the end tag </xsl:attribute> on the same line along with the content to get it to ouput properly.
Where we used to do:
<xsl:attribute name="href">
<xsl:value-of select="/page/menu/link/@xlink:href"/>
</xsl:attribute>
We now have to do:
<xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of select="/page/menu/link/@xlink:href"/></xsl:attribute>
I'm not sure if this is by design, but I didn't see it mentioned in any of the release notes.
