I thought that since the stylesheet uses a tab twice, it was worth defining
it as an entity so that it would look cleaner in the code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE stylesheet [  
<!ENTITY tab "<xsl:text>&#9;</xsl:text>">
]>
  <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

    <xsl:template match="assetType">
      <xsl:number/>&tab;<xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="results">
Asset List

#&tab;Name
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
