Where I wrote about spaces?

BTW, why spaces should not count? Why Emacs has the command 'M-x 
delete-trailing-whitespace'? or the hook

(add-hook 'before-save-hook 'delete-trailing-whitespace)

?

Try this in a empty buffer and then save:

foo SPC SPC bar RET

both in DOS and in UNIX style (utf-8-dos, utf-8-unix), and then count...
