Not that I care terribly about this, but personally the newlines add 
very little in size, but a whole lot in 
readability/grep-ability/script-ability.

The whole point of text formats generally are their readability without 
fancy tools such as web inspector, and process-ability with 
line-oriented tools such as sed/grep/head/tail/..., so removing the 
newlines is clearly a huge step backwards, for very little gain in size.
