While I think I follow your answer, I'm not sure I agree - surely there is no judgement call required in this case - the removal of the tags from "<u>north</u>ern" = "northern", no?  Is the text not accumulated in a buffer and only tags discarded? I fail to see the need for extra whitespace to be inserted.  Certainly the purpose of the presentation tags I am aware of is not to represent some sort of whitespace (like say, <br> or <p>), so I would have thought in their case whitespace should definitely not be inserted?

Kind regards,
