Description

<xsl:copy> produces a node AND a linefeed for processing-instruction nodes in
the "root" of the document.

Example:

The following template faithfully reproduces an XML document:

<xsl:template match="node() | @*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

...EXCEPT when the document contains processing instruction nodes in the
"root" (ie. before the "document" element). There doesn't seem to be a problem
for nodes that are descendants of the "document" element.
