Well, that's precisely the point, the tool is only useful if the
sources are reasonably clean to start with. Otherwise running the tool
is going to create thousands of differences and that makes it useless.
If some people use the tool then everybody has to use it, otherwise
it's a constant fight between adding and removing spaces.

Personally I don't think it's a problem at all. I'm happy to ignore
trailing spaces and send all patches that attempt to remove them to
/dev/null. Patrik may feel differently though <g>
