I don't see how that follows. Any whitespace inside a paragraph-like
container is significant, with the possible exception of leading and
trailing whitespace (which occurs at paragraph boundaries). So,
whitespace inside of <p>, <h1>, <td>, etc. is all significant, but
whitespace directly inside something like <table> or <body> is not.

So, your "that ain't true for <b>" example confused me (but maybe I'm
missing something). Are you saying that these are somehow different?

<html><body><p>
<b>bbbbbbbbbbbb</b>
<b>cccccccccccc</b>
</p></body></html>

and

<html><body><p>
<b>bbbbbbbbbbbb</b> <b>cccccccccccc</b>
</p></body></html>
