I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing. I was essentially
agreeing with Jenn's point from a previous post:

which seemed in danger of being shuffled aside. I approached it from
a slightly different angle (i.e., "positioning whitespace according
to a company standard is a job for a machine, not something you want
to distract humans with").
