That's not XSLT behavior, but browser behavior. Remember, once you 
generate the HTML it's processed like any other HTML document. and 
browsers are free to readjust whitespace as they see fit.

In general, XML tools consider &#32; to be just another way of writing 
the space character, so it's slightly surprising when you say that 
change produced different results on screen. I strongly suspect other 
XSLT processors would handle it differently, so I wouldn't recommend 
relying on this trick.

The usual HTML solution when you need a specific number of spaces and 
aren't willing to go all the way to <pre> markup is to use the 
non-breaking-space character. XSLT doesn't normally know the entity name 
&nbsp;, but you can specify that character using the numeric character 
reference &#160;.
