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.
