I forgot this in my first mail: Being one of the poeple that in general 
shares Boris' sense of annoyance, I'm voting in favor of his patch [1/2] 
(or mine, if it is any better), but not [2/2].

For any poeple that might be inconvenienced by the patch there is a 
trivial one-time fix: Strip whitespaces from their template. Because of 
this, I believe it is OK to change the long-standing behavior in this case.
