RE: [xslt] whitespace around IMG tag

I do not complain of IE here. I'm asking whether the behaviour of libXSLT is ok when adding newline between <img> and </div> when indenting output. 
>From my example 

<div><img /></div>

is transformed correctly as

<div><img></div>

but 

<div><img /><img /></div>

is transformed as

<div>
<img><img>
</div>

see the extra newlines, which I guess is not correct.

What IE is doing is appropriate. It sees white space in element context, so
it renders it. White space between attributes in a tag will be ignored, and
multiple white space characters in content are compressed to a single space
(except in <PRE> elements, I think), but otherwise white space is rendered.
(Note that this is a simplification; see the spec for the complete rules.)

The bottom line, though, is simple: unless you want white space rendered,
don't include it.

Are you saying that the following HTML does not result in whitespace being
rendered?

<div>
<img>
</div>

If so, that seems wrong. Furthermore, I'd expect whitespace before and after
the image, not just after. For what it's worth, I tend to rely on Mozilla's
interpretation of the standards, because it seems to have the best and most
complete (though still not perfect) implementation.
