| Yes, there is.  In your custom xsl file include the following line:
| 
|   <xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"/>
| 
| This will format nicely indented tags.
| 
| The only drawback to this is if you have something like <computeroutput> or 
| <programlisting> in your XML, it will get indented - which is probably not 

Some tools also do funky things with the callout extensions if you turn
on indenting. I find it's easier to just run the results through tidy[1].
