The sentence in question is current in the original serialization draft, and we
can't really trace it earlier than that.

I don't think it's clear that the text in question talking about insignificant
whitespace, given that this is just one step in a algorithm, and only the last
step deals with siginificant vs. insignificant whitespace.  My proposal is that
the bullet read:

"* The new whitespace characters MAY replace existing insignificant whitespace
characters in the same position, for example a tab MAY be inserted as a
replacement for existing spaces."  (And, yes, the last sentence deleted.)
