Just explicitly specify the space in the output with:

  <xsl:text> </xsl:text>

In your example, this would look like:

  <xsl:value-of select="ancestor-or-self::book/bookinfo/author/firstname"/>
  <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
  <xsl:value-of select="ancestor-or-self::book/bookinfo/author/othername"/>
  <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
  <xsl:value-of select="ancestor-or-self::book/bookinfo/author/surname"/>

Take care,
