The following should do the job:

<xsl:stylesheet
   xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
   version="1.0"> 
_
                                                                               _
   <xsl:output 
_
     method="text" 
_
     version="1.0" 
_
     standalone="yes" 
_
     omit-xml-declaration="yes" 
_
     indent="no" 
_
   /> 
_
                                                                               _
   <xsl:strip-space 
elements="*"/>                                             _
                                                                               _
   <xsl:template 
match="*">                                                    _
     <xsl:for-each select="text() | ./*"><xsl:value-of 
select="concat(normalize-space(), ' ')"/></xsl:for-each>
   </xsl:template> 
_
                                                                               _
</xsl:stylesheet>                                                             _
