Preserving White Spaces in FOP 1.0

Hello.

In FOP version 0.20.5 the following code preserved white spaces in text.
I'm in the process of converting to FOP version 1.0 and the same piece of code 
does not preserve the white spaces.

<fo:list-item-body start-indent="body-start()" end-indent="3mm">
  <xsl:for-each select="RCEXPLANATION/LINE">
    <fo:block white-space-collapse="false">
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </fo:block>
  </xsl:for-each>
</fo:list-item-body>

Is there anything that I can do to preserve the white spaces?

Thank you,
Rita

white-space-collapse will stop multiple spaces being merged into one. 
You also need white-space-treatment="preserve" to stop whitespace at the 
start and end of lines being suppressed.
