Variables may be set by other top-level elements, and that would require 
that the XSLT engine evaluate all of those variables (potentially deeply 
investigating the source XML) before setting up its output environment.

Make three stylesheets.  Two are very short:

indent.xsl:
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
   version="1.0">
<xsl:import href="main.xsl"/>
<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"/>
</xsl:transform>

noindent.xsl:
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
   version="1.0">
<xsl:import href="main.xsl"/>
<xsl:output method="html" indent="no"/>
</xsl:transform>

And main.xsl has your actual templates.

HTH,
Chris
