Spaces and newlines can be dropped around a collection tag or a  
condition tag. The rules are:
1. spaces /before/ a collection/condition tag up to the beginning of  
the line are dropped, but not a newline.
2. spaces including a newline /after/ a collection/condition tag up to  
the end of the line are dropped.

Note that spaces between a collection/condition tag and some other tag  
or text on the same line are never dropped. Basically, it uses the  
standard rule a newline belongs to the line before it.

Some examples to illustrate these rules:

* Example 1:

before
   <$key>
<$#/>.item
   </$key>
after

Spaces around the tags and newlines after the tags are dropped,  
newline after "before" and "item" remain intact. Result:

before
1.item
2.item
3.item
after

* Example 2:

before  <$key>
<$#/>.item
</$key>
after

Spaces and newlines after the tags are dropped, but not before the  
(first) tag, there is only a space after "item". Result:

before  1.item
2.item
3.item
after

* Example 3:

before
<$key>
<$#/>.item </$key>
after

Spaces and newlines after the tags are dropped, the space after "item"  
is not dropped. Result:

before
1.item 2.item 3.item after

* Example 4:

before
<$key>  <$#/> item </$key>
after

The newline after the last tag is dropped, but not the spaces after  
the first tag or before the last tag, the newline after "before"  
remains. Result:

before
    1 item   2 item   3 item after


I hope this clarifies it.
