blanks eventually not rendered

[maassg]

mustache version = 0.9.6

template = "{{#IF}} {{/IF}}]X";

IF=true or IF=false
Output is always:
]X

expected:
IF=true
]X
IF=false
]X

template = "X[{{#IF}} {{/IF}}]X";
works as expected!

IF=true
x[ ]X
IF=false
x[]X

In order to make nice looking HTML output mustache.java doesn't consider whitespace by itself significant. We've talked about changing this behavior but a big change in it wouldn't be backwards compatible. I'm still thinking about changing it but it isn't a very high priority since there are generally workarounds if you absolutely have to have it. I'll leave this open though until eventually some final decision is made on it.
