Comment (by tompecina):
That's right, so the information weather to add a newline would have to be
supplied by the developer somehow, eg, in a settings variable.
To sum it up, standard HTML requires a leading newline as all browsers are
required to ignore it, by the HTML standard. Stripping it would break a
lot of existing code because leading newlines cannot be safely stripped,
as is the case with CMS's, etc.
On the other hand, when Django is outputting XML-serialized code, there is
no way to get rid of the extra newline, except using a custom Textarea
widget.
I see no easy way out, the "lesser evil" appears to be a new settings
variable.
