Yes you can: saxon:indent-spaces="2"

Saxon 8.8 allows you to define your own SerializerFactory which can generate
a custom serialization pipeline: any of the standard Saxon components in the
pipeline can be replaced by a subclass that modifies the behavior, or you
can include steps into the pipeline of your own devising. I'll be interested
to see what creative uses people can come up with for this flexibility.
