Description

for the input file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<foo>
<boo>
</boo>
</foo>
and a stylesheet:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

<xsl:strip-space elements="*" />

<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:if test=" . != '' " >
<xsl:text>for a node:</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="name(.)"/><xsl:text>
The length is</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="string-length(.)"/> <xsl:text>
</xsl:text>

<xsl:apply-templates/>

</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="/">
<out>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</out>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

The expected output would be :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><out/>
But XalanC gives:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><out>for a node: foo
The length is 3
for a node: boo
The length is 1
</out>
