      Improve HTML output of <code>DefaultServlet

How does this improve the output? It appears to just be adding
(unnecessary) new lines in the HTML source.

I agree with you so far that my wording is bad on the summary. It does not 
change the HTML code, but simply makes line breaks consistent. No functional 
change.

OK. Not something that is high on my list of priotities but since we are here...

Should the priority be to make the source clear / readable or should we be aiming to minimise it (remove line breaks, comments etc) for (marginally) better response time. I can see arguments for both.

While bandwidth is certainly more plentiful than it was 20 years ago, it still pains me to see any of it wasted. Although looking at a typical website I might be the only one that feels that way.

If the source is readable then it makes it easier for us to work with if we ever want to change anything. It is also easier for contributors to patch.

Given the small scale of the potential reduction, the maintenance benefits and the (relatively) small resources concerned I think I am leaning towards readable but what does everyone else think?
