This bothers me too:

> Newlines and tabs are also treated identically and collapsed into spaces.

This means that simply formatting your HTML -- as you might when hand-editing -- can add spaces. Possibly, something else is going on too: I'm not an expert here, I've just observed rendering differences when you have a newline between tags. Maybe it's inline vs block tags as the author also discusses?

This has bitten me a few times and my hand-written sites or SSG-generated sites that I want to look nice have several ugly, long lines that should be broken up to be readable, but are not.
