Most of the formatting that you use in the stylesheet is to make the
XSLT easier to read rather than to actually be used in the output, so
XSLT makes the assumption that unless some whitespace-only text is
within an xsl:text element, it can be ignored.

You can get around this by adding xml:space="preserve" to the elements
containing the whitespace that should be preserved in your output.

I hope that helps,

Jeni
