Sorry, actually we were talking about different things. Maybe because we 
have different understandings of the bug itself. Just want to clarify 
the bug a little bit.

Actually, the bug is *NOT* concerned about how the HTML code looks, it 
is concerned about how the HTML page look. If I put a segment of HTML 
code in an org file that should display only one blank line, but the 
exported page displays 3 blank lines in a browser, that page has correct 
syntax but wrong content (although the rendering is still correct). 
Because the exported part is bracket in a <pre> ... </pre> section, a 
changed number of blank lines in the HTML code also changes the number 
of displayed blank lines in the browser.
