Is whitespace in your output document really critical? The output indenting just makes the output tree look pretty by inserting returns and tabs as needed for a tree.

If you really need to insert line break and whitespace in the output tree, you'll need to add them in as part of your transformation.

Check out this link above. It offers a lot of suggestions about escaped characters and whitespace in XSLT. You should find what you're looking for.
