No, I don't think that's a common use case. The common cases are:

1. preserve it everywhere it's significant
2. preserve it nowhere

I'm not going to support 2**7 different combinations of preserving 
and not preserving white space depending on which nodes you do and do 
not care about.

You might be able to do what you're asking for by subclassing, but 
perhaps not. In any case, I suspect you should probably just go ahead 
and preserve white space everywhere.
