I need to think more about this, though I'm fairly certain the answer
should be (1).
i lean more toward "newline if at least one element is block-level,
nothing otherwise" since this preserves the html semantics better, i
think. this is approximately equivalent to taking all the individual
html elements, putting them inside a <div>...</div>, and calculating
the (nonportable) innerText. this also means that you can concatenate
the elements inside a <div>...</div> and namespace it as XHTML and
create your atom feed without ever converting to plain text, e.g.
<atom:content type="xhtml" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";><p>Content</p><p>More
Content</p></div>
</atom:content>
(this is equivalent to concatenating the xhtml with no intervening
whitespace, although the class names have been removed for clarity)
the no-intervening-whitespace approach leaves us with
<atom:content type="xhtml" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>ContentMore Content</div>
</atom:content>
(this is equivalent to concatenating the innerText with no intervening
whitespace)
it seems to me that the former is closer to what the author wrote (and
intended), but i would like to hear other viewpoints and rationales.
