that is XSLT's default behaviour.

That only affects white space nodes and the text child of your <cell>
has non white space characters so these will have no effect.

CR LF and CRLF pairs are all normalised to a single #10 character by XML
parsers, if you use value-of in XSLT then these #10 line endings will be
preserved.
Perhaps you are looking at HTML in an HTML browser. The browser will of
course render new lines as a single space character as is normal in HTML
if you want spaces preserved you'll neeneed to set the relevant CSS
properties or, simpler, place the result inside
<pre>...</pre>
