slice-problem

	Hi!

 I have a little problem with the slice-pass. Though I've never used it
before I'm very happy that it is there now - especially it's quite
useful for frame-based pages ;-)

 Anyway, the problem that happens is that slice is done after strip.
Shouldn't be any problem, but - if you have something like:

---------------------------
<body>
[EN:Hello!:]
[DE:Hallo!:]
</body>
---------------------------

 ... you will be getting:

---------------------------
<body>

Hallo!
</body>
---------------------------

 and

---------------------------
<body>
Hello!>

</body>
---------------------------

 That is quite annoying - especially if I'm doing this different
frame-src with one file, where I have:

---------------------------
[FS:
<html>
...
</html>:]


[NAV:
<html>
...
</html>:]


[MAIN:
<html>
...
</html>:]
---------------------------

 I'm ending up with several empty lines at the beginning and/or the end
of the different files. And that's quite annoying...  For I'm not quite
sure about what the W3C thinks of the "first line" for the
DOCTYPE-declaration, e.g.

 Anyway - I found a workaround which is not really what I want:

---------------------------
[FS:<html>
...
</html>:][NAV:<html>
...
</html>:][MAIN:<html>
...
</html>:]
---------------------------

 For this makes the code quite unreadable....  Is it maybe possible that
slice doesn't insert extra newline at the start and the end of the
slice? So I could at least use:
---------------------------
[FS:
<html>
...
</html>

:][NAV:

<html>
...
</html>

:][MAIN:

<html>
...
</html>
:]
---------------------------

 And get no empty lines at all...

 I hope that my request isn't too hard to realise - and I hope that I'm
not the only one bugged by that ;-)

 So long!
Alfie
