For me, it looks quite natural.  It's just not the 'natural' way of
how HTML handles spaces.  The big advantage of TeX's space algorithm
is the ability to continue words (or, say, long URLs) in another line
and still retain indentation in the source code:

   Blablabla

     https://foo.bar/@c
     baz/urgh.html

   Blablabla

This is something not possible in HTML at all.

Anyway, this is a deviation from my original report and just a tangent
remark.
