Re: [Edbrowse-dev] (something other than) whitespace nodes

First of all thanks for all the work you've all done on this and appologies for
going silent... again... Hopefully this time I'll keep my computers working at
least long enough to participate in discussions again.

Tbh it sounds like it wasn't wasted time in that we now understand that this
could be a thing in the future (although it sounds like a strange thing which is
probably why tidy doesn't do it).  I'd also say that the more we know about the
tidy code the better so, as you say, the exploration was probably worth it.
Anyway I agree with safely ignoring the lack of a newline because... who cares
about blank text nodes (which is, I guess, what this would be).  May be we need
this in the future, but I can't imagine why.

Cheers,
Adam.
