At the very least, newlines should be preserved, so you can get a line number when an error occurs. Stripping other whitespace and comments is probably actually be worth the performance gain, from what I've heard, annoying though it may occasionally be. Stripping newlines is surely not worth the added debugging pain, on the other hand. (Couldn't you even make up for it by stripping semicolons?) _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
