It is hard to say what your problem is, but it will not be solved with
xsl:preserve-space.  This specifies what to do with white-space-only
nodes in the *source* document, such as in the following non-empty
element:
  <text>      </text>

Even then, it only has an effect if you are also using a
<xsl:strip-space> which matches the same element.

We need to know how you are using this parameter, and what output mode
you are using (html, xml, text?).  I can only think of two ways these
spaces could get lost:
  1) you are using the function normalize-space() on this value
  2) you are generating HTML, and are forgetting that browsers
generally display multiple spaces the same as a single space

Other guesses anyone?
