It’s a problem with you stylesheet. XSLT like this is wrong:
<elem xml:space=“preserve">
<xsl:attribute name=“attr”>value</xsl:attribute>
</elem>
The problem is that there is a text node containing whitespace before the
xsl:attribute. Text nodes and element nodes are not allowed before
xsl:attribute. Normally, these whitespace nodes will be stripped. But since
there’s a parent element with xml:space=“preserve”, the whitespace will be kept
in this case. I just checked with Saxon and it also reports an error.
