Here is the line from the xslt (all on one line):

<a href="current" class="action"><i18n:text>Current Items</i18n:text> 
<span class="count">(<xsl:value-of select="$total"/>)</span></a>

And it is rendered in the browser as:

<a class="action" href="current">Current Items<span 
class="count">(4)</span>
</a>

That's no surprise. The XSLT processor strips all whitespace only
text nodes from the stylesheet, therefore the space between the
"</i18n:text>" tag and "<span" goes away. If you want to enforce
a space there:
- Enclose it in xsl:text:
 <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
- Put some non-whitespace there. Perhaps you need a colon anyway:
 <i18n:text>Current Items</i18n:text>: <span
- Use a non-breaking space or perhaps another character out of the
 Unicode space family. Only the common space U+0020, the Tab, CR and
 LF count as whitespace for the XSLT processor:
 <i18n:text>Current Items</i18n:text>&#160;<span
 This will, of course, result in a non-breaking space in the HTML,
 whether this matches your intentions is on you toi decide.
When I turn off the indenting in the xml serializer,
Indenting may insert significant whitespace on its own and should never
be used for producing XHTML.
