Without more explanation, your example above looks to me like a perfectly valid approach for all of your sourcecode elements to be styled that way.  I see the x:indent-with="  " in the XML source, but I don't see how that affected the HTML, which has <pre class="text">?  Can you please walk me through your vision?

Because I didn't explain well, and it's very long ago that I put this in.

Right now it's only used in 
<https://github.com/reschke/xml2rfc/blob/master/clean-for-DTD.xslt#L665>, which 
is my preprocessing step that generates XML input for xml2rfc; so it 
allows to indent the artwork when I generate TXT files, without having 
to have the whitespace in the source file.
