I'm not sure what a "content tag" is, but it would be an even worse bug
to lose the whitespace in something like <b>bold</b> <i>italic</i>, so
I infer that it is a proper subset of tags, meaning they did exactly
what I cynically/pessimistically guessed they would: some tags eat
whitespace (or, at least, are specced to) and some don't.

Ugh.  No wonder it's so hard to build a decent webpage.  Makes me glad
I never got into that stuff....
