 You're good, I'm happy with pushback as it makes for a better WordPress
 :).

 This is what I'm aiming to do:

 * have `wp_nav_menu` remain whitespace consistent when it falls back to
 the page listing (they currently differ)
 * have the menus and page listings consistent
 * allow right aligned menus to be space free while displaying in menu
 order. `float:right` removes the space but reverses the items. See 2014
 menu in [attachment:35206.jpg] with the space highlighted.
 * allow for center aligned menus without spaces between.
 * maintain backward compatibility.

 It's possible with filters (one for line breaks and one for indents) but
 messy as filters would need to be added and removed when menus fall back
 to page listings.

 As a themer, the first item is the biggest hurdle. The same function can
 output different whitespace.
