[web-devel] [hamlet] implicit spaces with newlines?

I find it a bit unintuitive that the hamlet code

<p>hello
     <strong>there

or

<p>
      hello
      <strong>there

generates the html

<p>hello<strong>there</strong></p>

I expected there to be a space between "hello" and "there" similar to 
what the html specifications dictate. Is this behavior intentional or an 
oversight? If it's the former, then what is the recommended way to 
simulate my expected behavior? Appending a space to the end of a line is
mentally ugly and syntactically obscure.
