RE:  spacing issue
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".
