Personally, in some cases, I don't see a problem in stripping the white
space; in fact, in the HTML world, stripping white space can even optimize
the way browsers renders a given page. Extra whitespace between elements
(and carriage returns) can introduce differences at the pixel render
position level. That's why we prefer to use long one-liners without
whitespace and CRs - ugly, but necessary.
trouble is in the html world it can often result in inter-word space
being dropped as msxml drops all white space text nodes not just those
in element content.
