What I'm use to is less of particular tag and more of a change to how
all tags/templates work. In short, lines in templates that have only
tags should be "invisible" i.e. they should not be in the output of that
template.
If after doing tag processing a line(that had 1+ tags to begin with)
consists of nothing but whitespace then eliminate that line, including
it's new line.
line numbers for ref:
1: <foo>{% if bar %}bar{% endif %}
2: {% for i in list %}
3: i
4: {% if False %}</foo><foo>{% endif %}
5: {% endfor %}
6: </foo>
which now creates something like this when bar=False, list=[1,2]
1:<foo>
2:
3: 1
4:
3: 2
4:
5:
6:</foo>
instead outputs this
1:<foo>
3: 1
3: 2
6:</foo>
But this is a backwards incompatible change, a minor issue, and with
effort it's possible to work around this issue just not beautifully
(which contrasts with the rest of Django).
Other stuff is higher priority and the real problem with Django is

sound complainy in previous post, if anyone took it that way.
