So you have a source document that is not indented, and you want to indent 
it?  Well, if that's the case, then you have the right idea with <xsl:output 
indent="yes"/>.  The problem is that processors aren't required to support 
that; I know that Xalan doesn't do a very good job of it.  Saxon does, 
however.  Your milage will probably vary, though.

BTW, your template has some very redundant parts:

"text()" and "*" are both redundant since they are matched by "node()".  So 
really, the only thing you need here is <xsl:template match="node() | @*"/>.

Same thing with your apply-templates.  "*" is taken care of by "node()", so 
all you need is <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>.

> ????????</xsl:template>
> </xsl:stylesheet>

Your question was a little confusing, so if this is not the answer you wanted 
you really should clarify what you mean by "indent".  I would also suggest 
re-indenting your stylesheet, because it's pretty ugly with the <xsl:copy> 
half way across the page :).  Or maybe that's where your having problems with 
indenting?  If so, please clarify.
