 I've a minor edit I'd like to propose: When wp_trim_excerpt strips tags
 from the post content, it leaves the white space surrounding those tags,
 and then pulls the first 55 characters, which could be blank. So, for a
 lot of my posts that had a big set of HTML tags at the beginning, the
 excerpt would be empty. The work around is easy: collapse the white space
 (which the browser would do anyway). I hope it seems logical. Diff file
 attached.
