First, you can strip out spaces from a string using the translate()
function to replace all spaces with nothing. For example to get a
string that's the string value of the context node but without spaces,
you can use:

  translate(., ' ', '')

If you wanted to translate them to underscores instead, for example,
use that as the third argument:

  translate(., ' ', '_')

You can create an element with a name taken from an XML document using
xsl:element with an attribute value template in the name attribute:

  <xsl:element name="{...}">
    ...
  </xsl:element>

So with your example above, you need something like:

<xsl:template match="TEST">
  <xsl:element name="{translate(., ' ', '')}">
    ...
  </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

Cheers,
