Class StylesheetStripper

public class StylesheetStripper extends Stripper

The StylesheetStripper refines the Stripper class to do stripping of whitespace nodes on a stylesheet. This is handled specially (a) because it is done at compile time, so there is no Controller available, and (b) because the rules are very simple
