I noticed `asciidoctor` preserves whitespaces that aren't markups:

```
sh$ asciidoctor -b docbook - << EOF
abc   def


ghi
jkl
EOF
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?asciidoc-toc?>
<?asciidoc-numbered?>
<article xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook";
xmlns:xl="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"; version="5.0" xml:lang="en">
<info>
<title>Untitled</title>
<date>2021-02-25</date>
</info>
<simpara>abc   def</simpara>
<simpara>ghi
jkl</simpara>
</article>
```

You can see the three spaces in `abc   def` have survived within the
output, as well as the newline between `ghi` and `jkl`.


Is preserving whitespaces a requirement? Or is the processor free to
replace any whitespace sequence with another at its convenience in the
output document? Should the original whitespaces be preserved in the DOM?
