Do you have whitespace in your XSLT?  I find it good practice to never
have significant whitespace in XSLT, with copious use of <xsl:text>.

For instance, if your stylesheet has:

<lido:lidoRecID>
  spk:<xsl:value-of select="$objID"/>
</lido:lidoRecID>

I would do

<lido:lidoRecID>
  <xsl:text>spk:</xsl:text>
  <xsl:value-of select="$objID"/>
</lido:lidoRecID>

I strongly suspect this is not XML::LibXSLT specific, and if this
doesn’t resolve the problem, followups maybe should go to xsl-list.
