The xml:space preserves the whitespace in the *XSLT*, i.e.
the linefeed after the <xsl:template..> opening tag, the
indentation of the next line with the <xsl:value-of.../>
element and the linefeed after this and the indentation
of the next line.
Which all doesnt matter because the serializer reformats
the output because of the indent="yes" in the xsl:output.

Try
      <xsl:template match ="/address">
          <test><xsl:value-of select="firstname" /></test>
       </xsl:template>

you should see
          <test>      Mike</test>
somewhere in the output.
