Sadly, IE throws the space away before invoking the XSLT processor.
Complaining to Microsoft is unlikely to do much good.
If you invoke the transformation from Javascript rather than via the
<?xml-stylesheet?> processing instructions, there are magic incantations
that cause the whitespace to be preserved.
