Description

Something is wrong with the html.pegjs grammar for HTML. It is generating loads of unnecessary elements in the generated object tree that will make parsing more difficult and time consuming in terms of performance. here's a snippet of what I'm seeing: 
[ { tag: 'html',
    attrs: [],
    body: 
     [ '\n\t',
       { tag: 'head',
         attrs: [],
         body: 
          [ '\n\t\t',
            { tag: 'title',
              attrs: [],
              body: [ 'Declarative UI Master Detail Test' ] },
            '\n\t\t',
            { tag: 'script',
              attrs: [ [ 'src', '/controller/index.js' ] ],
              body: [] },
            '\n\t\t',
            { tag: 'style',
              attrs: [],
              body: [ '\n\t\t#mainWindow {\n\t\t\t-ti-layout: \'vertical\';\n\t\t\t-ti-navBarHidden: true;\n\t\t\t-ti-backgroundColor: \'#00a\';\n\t\t}\n\t\t' ] },
            '\n\t' ] },
       '\n\t',
// and so on....
We need to correct the HTML grammar so that these whitespace elements are no longer included in the generated object tree.
