Which editor are you using? Surely stripping whitespace is optional and 
can be disabled via some commandline argument? I agree in many cases it 
is useful, but any editor which doesn't have a "do *only* what I tell 
you to do" mode will not last long on my hard disk.

(One of the editors I am currently looking at migrating to will even 
handle binary files intelligently; imagine one of those which stripped 
trailing whitespace :-)
