Whitespace-only text in most stylesheet elements is not meaningful, by
design, and is discarded. Standard workarounds: make it something other
than whitespace-only, or enclose it in xsl:text, or play games with
xml:space (though that last sometimes has distinctly unexpected and
unpleasant interactions with xsl:attribute, so I don't generally recommend
it).
