I agree. I think that DocBook's behavior is the best approach.
It makes me wonder though why BoostBook chose a different approach.
Maybe Doug can shed some light?
Actually, I think "BoostBook's approach" was started by me when I added
the preserve-space markup with programlisting in it. It was the most
conservative change at the time to get things working the way I wanted.
Other than that, BoostBook already had some explicit strip-space
declarations scattered around.
Ah, ok. I understand now. The question is, are these explicit
strip-space causing the problems we've been seeing? E.g. stripping
spaces in empty runs in between tags?
At any rate, I move that we
switch to the DocBook behavior. Is there a chance that this will
cause problems with BoostBook? I'd assume that if they do cause
some differences in output, those will be additions of white spaces
and not deletions --- which IMO is more disaster prone; as we've
come to realize.
That's how I see it as well. As I mentioned before, DocBook has a list
of its own of strip-space elements. Those will be our safety net here.
And further below we'll have HTML and ... and I'm not sure about the
other output formats...
I'd say let's go for it! I think it's the right way to go.
