Bug: Single WikiWord in an HTML table isn't rendered consistently

Test case

<table><tr><td>WikiWord</td></tr></table>

<table><tr><td> WikiWord </td></tr></table>

I suggest a change like this one below to add spaces outside the WikiWord. Extra space between tags are stripped by (at least my) the browser. The example here is taken from my own plugin development.

$_[0] =~ s/\>\s*($wikiWordRegexp)\s*\</> $1 </g;

Fix record

This is actually a feature, not a bug. Your suggestion would introduce a whole avalanche of side effects. For example, rendering a WikiWord twice would produce nested links which is not XHTML conform (text do get rendered twice or more, i.e. with %INCLUDE{}% or %SEARCH{}%); or, escaping a WikiWord with <nop> would no longer work.
