My mistake. Here is the stylesheet I inferred from the original post.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:strip-space elements="*" />
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" encoding="UTF-8" />
<!-- <xsl:preserve-space elements="string" /> -->
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="category_label">
<xsl:copy-of select="." />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
As is, it strips the space. If I un-comment the xsl:preseve-space instruction,
the space is preserved.
i.e.,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<category_label>
<string/>
</category_label>
versus
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<category_label>
<string> </string>
</category_label>

Strange... I didn't see any stylesheet in the original post...
Also I don't think xsl:preserve-space would help unless it was used to
counter xsl:strip-space.
