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 
what you want.  But you can turn indent back to "no" (the default) when 
you're done debugging (keeping in mind that some things won't be as they 
appear).

Hope this helps.
