I put it slightly unclear, I was referring the switch use case. People that use the wiki and the wysiwyg interchangeable. Script authors would use the wiki only, I think in which case everything it would be fine. Still, I completely agree that if we can do something to avoid it, we should. I was only wondering if it's a frequent enough use case to deserve the tradeoff. (Not that it would really make a difference, but script content, if rendered properly in the <!--startmacro:--> comment, it will not be affected by the space stripping done when saving from the wysiwyg).
