I don't think this would be a good think to try to do "something
clever" with indentation with such a feature.  It is meant to be a
"block of text" feature, and changing its content would break the
"least surprise" rule.

I think coming with one example where one rule would make sense is
easy, but it is as easy to come with a counter-example.  That would
also be different than xsl:text.
