This is not only about having a dot after a link: spaces sometimes
"mean" something (in HAML for instance!).
So what if spaces mean something to the consumer of my HAML generated
content?
I really need to strip spaces from parts of the generated content: a
proper syntax should do the trick.
Incidentally, ERb has a similar functionality for blank lines ("-%>"
instead of "%>").
By the way, the {:nospace => "both"} hack is more than dirty: it only
works in IE.
