bug: incorrect \n added during processing

Hello,

I think I've found a bug in Xalan.

The XML is :
<root />

the XSL is:
<html>
<body>
  <input>
   <xsl:if test="true" >
   </xsl:if>
  </input>phone
</body>
</html>
->note
  1)that phone is following the input with no space between.
  2) this is a typical output of XMLSerializer in indent mode.

HTML output should be :
... <input>phone...

Instead it is:
... <input>
phone...
->note that a \n has been a added after the <input>, and I think it is a 
bug. When displayed by the browser, this \n appears as a space and may 
modify seriously the HTML (the cell way not be wide enough, and "phone" is 
not displayed on the same line of the input).

My current workaround is to use non-indented XSL.

PS: I've not subscribe (when newsgroups will be available?) to the mailing 
list, please send me a copy of any mail.

please find below the source code and exact output :

  static void TestXSLIF_reported() throws Exception{

  // create an XSL
    String XSL =
  "<xsl:stylesheet version=\"1.0\" 
xmlns:xsl=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform\">"
+"<xsl:template match=\"/\">"
+"<html>"
+"<body>"
+"<input><xsl:if test=\"true\" >\n</xsl:if></input>phone"
+"</body>"
+"</html>"
+"</xsl:template>"
+"</xsl:stylesheet>";


  // create a dummy XML
    String XML = "<root />";

  // apply XSL
    XSLTProcessor processor = XSLTProcessorFactory.getProcessor();
    XSLTInputSource xslSrc = new XSLTInputSource( new StringReader(XSL) );
    XSLTInputSource xmlSrc = new XSLTInputSource( new StringReader(XML) );
    XSLTResultTarget target = new XSLTResultTarget( System.out );
    StylesheetRoot stylesheet = processor.processStylesheet(xslSrc);
    stylesheet.setOutputMethod( "HTML" );
    stylesheet.process(processor, xmlSrc, target);
  }

output:
----HTML----
<html><body><input>
phone</body></html>
