I just wanted to add another voice to this issue. I am having a
similar problem where the extra spaces inserted on the translated page
are causing disruption to the presentation. Note the extra space
following the first <img> tag. The images in this snippet are for
'button' end caps and the extra space degrades the appearance.
[start -- original source fragment]
<div class="ebBoardName">
<img class='left' src='../images/blank.gif' alt=""><a
href='javascript:void(ebBookmarkMe("http://test2.eboarddev.com";));'
style="vertical-align: top"><img alt="bookmark this page" src='../
images/addFav.gif'> </a><a href="http://test2.eboarddev.com";>
test2.eboarddev.com</a><img class='right' src='../images/blank.gif'
alt="">
</div>

[end -- translated fragment]
The web site/application that this sample comes from is in flux, or I
would include the link here. Many of the changes we are making are to
keep the page stable following a translation.
