You may be able to achieve the required indentation simply using

<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="/"><xsl:copy-of select="."/></xsl:template>

If you really want to do the formatting yourself, use an identity template,
and produce the required amount of indentation using something like:

<xsl:for-each select="ancestor::*"><xsl:text>   </xsl:text></xsl:for-each>
