Wow, good catch.

The warning is only emitted because artwork gets to wide, and the 
artwork gets to wide because of the whitespace handling issue in IE's 
XSLT that we all know and love.

That's why the problem did not occur for other engines, nor for MSXML 
run from the command line.

Thanks a lot, Björn!
