This is a difference in what steps are taken for XSLT processing.

When the HTML code is parsed, 	 is replaced with 	. DOMParser
replaces that with a tab character. These steps work identically in WebKit and
in Gecko.

However, WebKit's XSLTProcessor serializes both documents to strings to pass
them to libxslt. When libxml2/lixslt parse the string containing a tab
character, they correctly convert it to a space (see section 3.3.3
"Attribute-Value Normalization" of XML 1.0). On the other hand, Gecko operates
on the existing DOM tree.

In contrast with bug 14530 comment 3, I think that Gecko is correct here.
