There's an easier solution to the problem.  Use comments to
filter the EOL:

    This is some text that runs<!--
    -->together.

produces:
    This is some text that runstogether.

I use this extensively when formatting long link references to avoid
unsightly spaces.

    <A HREF="http://server//some/vary/long/path/to/page"><!--
    -->This is the link</A>.

I've never seen a problem with either Netscape or MSIE (or Mosaic or
Lynx for that matter).
