Based on today's discussion, wouldn't there be a single space (the
collapsed one from the span)? And so I take it you are pointing out an
inconsistency? Or maybe I'm just lost ...

I didn't say anything during the call nor on the list about this, but
that doesn't mean I agree with whatever consensus seemed to emerge. I
just don't get the practical implications of this issue, and so
abstained. I got the impression I may not have been alone?
Michael asked whether we agree about the need for pretty printing or
some such, and I honestly don't, simply because I don't understand what
he meant by this.
So can someone recount why this (collapse vs. remove) is important?
