Answer 1

If you don't strip and don't indent, but transform white space text nodes to a line break, as in

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="comment()"/>

<xsl:template match="@class" />

  <xsl:template match="node()[not(self::doc|self::texte|self::author|self::style|self::span)]|@*" >
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="node()[not(self::author)]|@*"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="text()[not(normalize-space())]">
    <xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

then the result is hopefully what you want.
