the only thing I'm trying to do is to get the elements
<CityDescription> and <Population> to appear on the same line in the
output
This part of your code:
<xsl:template match="CityDescription"><CityDescription><xsl:value-of select="."/></CityDescription> <xsl:text>
</xsl:text></xsl:template>
explicitly generates a NL character after the CityDescription element.
This causes anything that is additionally generated to appear at least one line below the CityDescription element.
One obvious solution is to remove the xslt:text that generates the NL character.
In case the NL character is replaced just with a few spaces, then the problem disappears.
Here is the corrected transformation:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="no" />
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
