I used to use this to keep the space and other stuff. You may not need all of them though.

Perhaps another listie might know more about that. I was including it since it's part of the info on that page. :-) But since it 'works' in fop-0.20.5, you can always continue to use fop-0.20.5 even after fop-1.0 is released. Either that, or there might be some other solutions in XSL-FO you could find. I think the keyword you should look at is 'white-space' (white-space-preserve, white-space-collapse, etc.).
