<xsl:preserve-space> only affects what happens to text nodes that
consist entirely of whitespace.

Space characters within a non-whitespace text node are copied to the
output unless you do something drastic to get rid of them. It's the HTML
browser that's causing the trouble: HTML treats multiple space
characters as a single space. To prevent this, output the text wrapped
in an HTML <pre> element, using a fixed-width font.
