One other thought occurs to me.

Typically in a TeX document, whitespace is not semantic.  In other
words, spaces, tabs, and carriage returns are not differentiated.  If
we are so keen on supporting a few special whitespace characters, why
not also support tabs and make carriage returns, you know, actually
break lines?

It is necessary to be a /little/ careful here,
in that a certain degree of LWSP processing takes
place /before/ things reach TeX's mouth.  And, of
course, \obeylines exists in order to provide a
simple way for the user to handle ends-of-line
specially.
