That's why you can disable the feature (with wrap=0).  You can also
customize it (e.g. wrap=80 only wraps lines longer than 80 chars;
default is 60 to accommodate the ZMI edit form).

It does this now, more or less (it tries to put multiple attributes on
the same line if they fit according to the wrap value).

Indeed it can output that too.  But it will never remove significant
spaces like the ones before "<td".
