| 1. Which XSLT processor are you using? (Don't say MSXML w/DOM input)
saxon and xalan
| 
| 2. Where do you want the whitespace preserved? Provide an example.
Looks like this is more a XSL-FO question cause the actual text in
the format object file is correctly representing whitespace but the
pdf out put looks like below:


Text as per .xml and .fo:

Imagine this is a poem
and we want lines idented
in this strange fasion

This is a nonsensical indentation
but serves to make the point
about what I mean by preserving whitespace

Output as per .pdf:

Imagine this is a poem and we want lines idented in this strange fasion This is
a nonsensical indentation but serves to make the point about what I mean by
preserving whitespace 

The .fo -> .pdf processors I am playing with are fop and xep.
