Though the text on anonymous inline level boxes  
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#anonymous suggests the following:  
"Whitespace content that would subsequently be collapsed away according to  
the 'white-space' property does not generate any anonymous inline boxes."

You would probably need a note similar to what inline level boxes have,  
yes. Also, my proposed text was slightly incorrect. Only whitespace-only  
text nodes should be removed, not all whitespace.
