In fact i do not know what to do with this flag, so i prefer not to
change its behaviour. Maybe a reasonable solution would be to
  - remove spaces after begin tag and before closing tag (for container
    tags)
  - leave spaces around simple tags.
But then what to do with HTML tags having an optional closing tag?

It sounds really painful, and external tools (like tidy) are much more
suited for this task. So do not expect wml_p8_htmlstrip to support
optimization level higher than 2.
