I'm aware of this and did so for a CMS type application where I wanted
cleaner HTML.

Well, "better" is a dangerous wording. I dislike that PmWiki adds so
many class='vspace'. In the end, there are mopre "vspaced" elements
than without vspace, therefore I would prefer an inverse handling of
vertical space (suppression instead of addition).

And you might open a can of worms if you try to duplicate the
behaviour with CSS.

to get suitable results with complex documents, you need an idea what
you want to get before you start to implement.

That's why I asked for a test case.

Consider headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, pictures in different
sequences, nested etc.

I already started some experiments, if somebody is interested, I can
put them on PmWiki.org as a discussion basis.
