I disagree, I don't believe that to be the reason. The types of pages that these are, extra white space wouldn't be noticeable.

That is all well and good for one page. But there are over 5,900 pages in the manual. How are we supposed to clean all of them using an extension?
UltraEdit (Among Other Applications) Has a replace-all feature at the directory level. Just replace all line breaks with spaces
