Re: [xsl] output the result of the transformation twice, indented and not indented, without duplicating the code

["G. Ken Holman g.ken.holman@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You could treat the heavy-lifting non-indented stylesheet as an 
imported fragment to an onion skin stylesheet that turns on the indentation.

working.xsl:
<xsl:stylesheet...>
  <xsl:output indent="no"/>
  ...heavy lifting...
</xsl:stylesheet>


indented.xsl:

<xsl:stylesheet...>
  <xsl:import href="working.xsl"/>
  <xsl:output indent="yes"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>


I hope this helps.
