That should be xml:space="preserve", not "preserved".

I'm not sure what you mean by "optional". I assume you mean that in the DTD this would be declared as #IMPLIED? If so, I would suggest that this be required for verbatim elements, with a default value of "preserve". This would assist any generic processing tools that don't have specific knowledge of DocBook, especially formatting tools.
