Why would you want trailing spaces in an HTML document?

I've been looking at the source of the A List Apart website, and I've noticed something strange - every line (blank or not) has a trailing space. I work in typesetting, so trailing spaces are something I regularly remove out of course, so why in this case would you want them? I have a lot of respect for ALA so I'm assuming there's a good reason!

The html source does not have extra spaces. Used wget to retrieve the page and vim to view.

:P It's not the page, it's Chrome's view source function - it adds a space to each line. Still don't know why though!
