It actually doesn't matter that much for me, I only work with web2py 
templates.  End result just looks little unprofessional since it's not 
formatted properly and I couldn't figure out any reason why not to do so. 
But I understand now your point. Django doesn't have this feature either.

I think this would be a nice to have feature in production to get cleaner 
and more professional looking end result. And human readable HTML helps 
also in development, especially if you're working with someone who is not 
familiar with web2py templates. Optional flag solution would be good which 
could be set if we want to preserve the indentation.
