  Sounds right according to http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#strip
That looks like a bug in libxslt. Note also that it should also preserve
and generate in the output:
   - the white spaces before xsl:param
   - the white spaces before the first xsl:value-of
   - the white spaces after the last xsl:value-of
