Just use &#160; in your stylesheet - although you can't see the 6
characters '& # 1 6 0 ;' in your output, the character that the
character reference references :) is still there.  HTML doesn't
normalize this kind of white space, so its ok.

For example, try:

<xsl:template match="/">
  Tree here<br/>
  &#160;grandparent<br/>
  &#160;&#160;parent<br/>
  &#160;&#160;&#160;child<br/>
</xsl:template> 

You will see that the text is indented as you intended.
