What about the following patch?

The export framework usually treats differently empty string from nil
output. Only in the former blank lines/white spaces are preserved. With
this patch it will not be possible anymore to make this distinction with
export snippets.

What do you think?

I'll add some tests in test-ox.el if this patch is to be applied.


Regards,

Subject: [PATCH] ox: White spaces after export snippets are never ignored

* lisp/ox.el (org-export-data): White spaces after export snippets are
  never ignored.

Back-end developers should pay attention to the fact that white spaces
before and after an ignored export snippet now are accumulated in the
output.
