  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.
