Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. Me, I'm in it to read books as a consumer and to publish books as a formatter, so I'm on two of the three sides here. (Consumer, producer, renderer.)

When I'm reading, a blank line or two doesn't bother me. When I'm formatting, I want to write standards-compliant code and not have to worry about what Platform X or Device Y will do with it. That's why you'll always see me push for better standards compliance, both from producers and renderers; the more both of those sides demand compliant behavior from each other, the better an experience the consumers get and the less bloated the code can get.

I wouldn't object to a checkbox to switch between behaviors - "fill screen" vs. "follow defined w&o behavior" - but I would strongly object to just breaking standards.
