Why does Fm remove space after Xref in xml files?
A workaround is to put in a nonbreaking space but that might affect line breaks in an unwanted way.

This discussion should be moved to the Structured FrameMaker forum.
I believe there is a bug in the handling of the RemoveExtraWhiteSpacesOnXMLImport setting in maker.ini. This setting is intended to condense sequences of spaces used in pretty-printed XML documents to a single space. It seems to remove a space after a cross-reference as well. If you have control of the XML you are reading and can avoid such white space (or other situations in which the input may have extra spaces), the best solution is to set this flag to Off.
What version of FM are you using? I don't remember whether this bug was fixed in FM 2015.
