A very easy thing to do in the code I am sure. But why do it? This
means that for every whitespace lexeme in a source file a lexer has to
do 8 or 9 or 10 comparisons for spaces, probably more if you make a
full list of all the Unicode space objects. In large files, the slow
down in compile time would probably be measurable. What other
languages allow this?

Can the OP not filter the HTML source code through tr or perl to
produce conforming source?
