I get what you are saying here, but that does not answer the question about how whitespace is determined and removed.  Is that built in to Trac and automatically done?  Or does the updater have to identify these thru some laborious process?

Yes, discesses was the spelling mistake I found.  However, the sequence of tenses error is still there, since you did not mention it.
Please release changes in references [6] and [7].  I will make the suggested patch, a new one, for the sequence of tenses issue.

Thanks again for your attention to all these matters.  It really helps, especially as I have much to get used to.
