I was very interested to see David Carlisle's recommendation of leaving out
 the indent option altogether (I'd still like to try this on Xalan) but
 according to Mike Kay this will just default to output indent="yes", so
 that's a pity...

Mike was right, but he meant you had to do 
<xsl:output type="html" indent="no"/>
to turn off indenting, not that you could not do it at all.
If you do this you have full control over the content of every element
output, the system will never add (or remove) any white space unless you
ask it to.
