No, they trust the HTML agent implementor faithfully implements the HTML
4 spec: 


  B.3 SGML implementation notes
  B.3.1 Line breaks
  SGML (see [ISO8879], section 7.6.1) specifies that a line break
  immediately following a start tag must be ignored, as must a line
  break immediately before an end tag. This applies to all HTML elements
  without exception. 


which means you can insert white space for indentation putposes at those
places. (Or W3C specs are not consistent or browsers don't implement the
specs correctly, and neither of those could be the case, surely.)
