I'm not a template novice and I still complain about the extra line
breaks. I think it's debatable whether "they are right there in the
template."  If the lines the <tmpl_*> tags are on are not actually
(template) content, I don't see why the line ends of those lines
should be considered emitable (template) content. The fact that so
many novices find this unintuitive would indicate it's not the correct
behavior.

But, if it would burden H:T with cumbersome logic, I've always been in
favor of leaving it alone for the sake of simplicity (which I like
about H:T).
