I doubt there is enough information there to help.

XSLT doesn't do that so one of these is probably the case but impossible
to say which:

* There is a bug in your XSLT engine

* There is some other code in your XSLT that you haven't shown that
strips the white space.

* Something in the JSTL pipeline is tripping white space on input

* Something in the JSTL pipeline is stripping white space on output.

* Something else is wrong.

Start with a stylesheeet that _just_ does what you showed, if that
doesn't drop the space, gradually add things from your actual stylesheet
until things break....
