 Every commit increases the disk space the particular file needs on the CVS
 repository server, on all the CVS mirrors, on all the copies of the tree that
 users keep privately at their home or work, etc.  Bearing this in mind, I have
 to agree with Marc.  Whitespace commits should only be done rarely, if there's
 no real problem they might solve (such as aesthetic issues of a particular
 output format, wrapping of output documents, or similar).
 
 Yes, please close this PR.  When someone does a few content commits to the
 multimedia chapter a whitespace commit can follow.  Fixing spaces just for the
 sake of fixing spaces isn't really worth the disk space it will take.
