Amusingly, Strunk (1918) was perfectly happy with split infinitives,
though he noted it centered whiteness.  (Obviously he didn't put it
that way, more along the lines of "some people will look down on
you.")  In general, the various editions of that text are far less
prescriptive, and far more interested in semantics and avoiding
annoying readers than simple rule-following.
