What are those white-space nodes on <html> ?
Not white-space nodes on <html>, but all kind of white-space nodes in the whole source code. That include line-feeds, etc. see 16.6.1 The 'white-space' processing model http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/text.html#white-space-model > What > other white-space nodes can we find?

No this has nothing to do with any box model, and yes, the box model applies to inline elements (although width and height don't apply to those).
