What justifies a line break per space? 

IMO, there is no good reason to indent a single line and to make a text
processor work like ASCII editor (however, you can by using tabs). Spaces have
to be added to the line end - and need to be shown for proper feedback.

Nothing to say against smarter solutions, eg. showing "ellipsis" as long as
more than three spaces are at the line end (not really smart as deleting a
space has no good feedback then). The point is: how many users will add
multiple spaces at the line end wondering where the cursor goes? Maybe we
should just accept and resolve the report as NAB.
