   A tab can be a legal value in a manifest, but when the XML's formatting was 
copied directly into the manifest, we ended up with a newline followed directly 
by a tab, which is not valid for a manifest.
   
   My suggestion to condense all whitespace was made purely because a manifest 
is bound to be laid out differently from an XML description (which is likely to 
have tab-based indents), so why not condense tabs while we're necessarily going 
about removing newlines?  Not strictly necessary though - you're right, as long 
as continuation lines always start with a space (which they weren't)
