You keep saying that like it's true, but there are valid reasons to wrap whitespace (and only whitespace) in an HTML tag. They are definitely edge cases, but they do exist.

An example would be creating an empty checkbox by using a border around a space. Since most EPUB renderers do not support form elements, you can't use an actual HTML checkbox. Perhaps this would be better done by using a custom font with a checkbox character, but that doesn't mean that using a border around a space is wrong...just unusual.
