I tried my best to format stuff automatically
as part of the Forrest output process. If it
was raw xml serialiser output then it would have
been even worse. No we cannot retain original
formatting.

I know that it is not good enough.

Someone could run all documents through something
like HTML Tidy or Henning's CodeWrestler or perhaps
some XSL.

I would be pleased to see how they do this, because
i want to add the ability to our future tools.

On many projects i have seen messy source documents
cause grief with svn diffs - too much clutter and
inconsistent whitespace.
