Comment (by tompecina):
If I had a time machine, I could easily find out if the XML-serialized
HTML (aka "XHTML5") has any future. But I don't have one and at the
moment, there are people - including me - using the XHTML format, and
these are made to create custom textarea widgets. The primary problem is
the inconsistent behavior of browsers (due to a failure of HTML/XML
authors to deal with the whitespace trouble more elegantly in the first
place). Therefore, it might be a good idea for Django to address this
issue, by way of a settings variable or a widget parameter (or both).
Well, if XHTML is dead, let's forget about it and close the ticket as
obsolete and antiquated.
