The problem is that that is the only white space that is _not_
problematic.


if jade wants to output

<foo>...stuff...</foo>

then it has a habit of writing

<foo
>...stuff...</foo
>

which some people don't like.

It could just never add newlines at all, but then the lines might become
very long and some simple text editors (or some pieces of paper) may not
be able to cope.

It may look more natural to do

<foo>
  ...stuff...
</foo>

but whether that is `safe' depends on the DTD, what exactly is
...stuff..., the phase of the moon, ...
