 ### Fixed
 
+- `xsl:strip-space` and `xsl:preserve-space` now match their `elements` name tests by namespace rather than by prefix (XSLT 1.0 3.4). A specifier `prefix:*` or `prefix:local` resolves the prefix to its namespace URI at parse time, and a source element is matched on its expanded name in order of specificity (an exact `{uri}local` over a namespace wildcard `{uri}*` over `*`), so a stylesheet that strips `ns1:*` strips a source element in that namespace whatever prefix the source bound it to, while leaving another namespace untouched. The tests previously compared the raw prefixed name strings, so a differing prefix did not match. Closes Apache Xalan conformance cases `whitespace06` and `whitespace07`.
+
 - `disable-output-escaping` is now ignored when an `xsl:text` or `xsl:value-of` produces the string value of an attribute, comment, or processing-instruction node (XSLT 1.0 16.4: disabling escaping for a value used as something other than a text node is an error, with the recovery being to ignore it). The attribute value built from such content kept its raw-output markers, so the serializer left `<` and `>` unescaped in the attribute; the markers are now stripped for these three node kinds (only when the stylesheet uses the feature, so a private-use character in ordinary data is untouched). Closes Apache Xalan conformance case `output75`.
 
 - The `html` output method now percent-escapes non-ASCII and control characters in URI-valued attributes (XSLT 1.0 16.2, HTML 4.01 appendix B.2.1). For the HTML 4 attributes of type %URI (`href`, `src`, `cite`, `action`, and the rest), each non-ASCII or control/space character in the value is written as the uppercase hex of its UTF-8 bytes (so `cite="bë.xml"` becomes `cite="b%C3%AB.xml"`), while `"` and `&` keep their entity form; other attributes are unaffected. Closes Apache Xalan conformance case `output32`.
