For FO output XSLT procesor doesn't know which elements have mixed
content where whitespaces has to be preserved. Enabling indent="yes"
might insert whitespace in places where it is not ignored and can change
generated output.

But if you want this just for debugging you can enable indenting
temporarily or do indenting in some tool like XML editor.
