You're using indent=yes, with the HTML output method, and you're using an element in your result tree (insert) that isn't defined in HTML, so the processor doesn't know what the rules are, and is making up its own. If this happens with inline elements that are defined in the HTML spec, such as span, then you have grounds for complaint. But if you're going to use non-standard HTML, then you should either avoid using the HTML output method, or avoid indent="yes".
