This template rule may be the problem:

  <xsl:template match="text()">
    <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space()"/>
  </xsl:template>

The real problem, for xmlroff, is the whitespace at the beginning of
the lines.

I'll look again at your whitespace patch.

Whatever we want, not least because (a) it's software, and (b) it's
software that hasn't been written yet.

I was contemplating a warning mode setting to not warn about
unsupported properties.  Just because I find it useful to be warned
about unsupported properties doesn't mean everybody else does.
