The reason the processor uses only newlines is for better performance.  At
least that's what I remember as the reason.

Of course, a conformant processor can ignore the indent attribute of
xsl:output, so any particular behavior is platform-specific.

Just curious, why are newlines better than traditional indenting?
Especially
when it confuses so many people?  As a user, I hope that the default will
be
changed to 4 (or 2).

Anyway, thanks for explaining this.  I've been confused by this for a long
time, and I always just assumed it was a bug in the indentor.
