Yes, I see I had it running with --ignore-whitespace on the web service.  I seem
to remember that the reason for that was that (at the time) too many drafts had
excessive right-hand whitespace, which would then result in insanely wide
diff columns.  I'll strip trailing line whitespace instead.

Please, when reporting bugs on tools at tools.ietf.org, report directly to me
or webmaster@tools.ietf.org, which goes to me.


Best regards,
