My input file is
<wrapper>
<para><sub>text1</sub> <sub>text2</sub>stuff</para>
</wrapper>
I want to get and push through with an xsl the space between text1 and
text2 that is content of para. Using Saxon but the whitespace is being
stripped. Any Ideas?

By default all whitespace is significant to XPath/XSLT 1.0 ... using the
SHOWTREE stylesheet available as a free resource from our web site noted
below, I can see that that space character *is* being preserved by Saxon 6.5.2.
Perhaps you are using xsl:strip-space?
I hope this helps.

Thank You Ken.
I got your walker and got the same thing when I used Saxon which I thought
I was but was not.
I was using xmlSpy with their default xslt and got this:
SHOWTREE Stylesheet - http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/resources/
Processor: Altova GmbH & Altova, Inc.
1 Element `wrapper`:
1.1 Element `para` (wrapper):
1.1.1 Element `sub` (wrapper,para):
1.1.1.1 Text (wrapper,para,sub): {text1}
1.1.2 Element `sub` (wrapper,para):
1.1.2.1 Text (wrapper,para,sub): {text2}
1.1.3 Text (wrapper,para): {stuff}
and you can see the whitespace is missing.
So now I know what to do and would say you treewalker.xsl is great.
I was going nuts yesterday.

Then it looks like XML Spy is not conformant to XPath/XSLT 1.0 ... by
default *all* white-space in an XML document is significant.

Not sure where you got that name ... it is actually called showtree.xsl
when you get it from the web site. The result is verbose, but it is a
complete exposition of the XPath 1.0 data model for an XML instance as seen
by an XSLT 1.0 processor.
I`m glad it was helpful.
