5.5.10.1 Remove. Does not apply and may be hard to respect for developers

State:
CLOSED

Best Practices Document

Description:
\"Content which is marked up up in languages such as XML can often be
made smaller while preserving the exact same semantics, merely by
removal of redundant white space (i.e. spaces and new lines).\"

Remove. Extra white space has no impact on usability. On the other
hand whitespace creeps in as a side effect if using ASP, PHP, JSTL and
virtually any other web platform. Removing whitespace would mean making
development and maintanance harder for authors and developers.
