White space

I'm working on "The Hunting of the Snark", a poem by Lewis Carroll. The
original etext contains a lot of white space, to give centering of
title/author/etc, and to indent every second line of verse (a problem which
a previous poster mentioned, but for which no solution has appeared). Should
I leave this white space in my markup file (it doesn't display in the
browser, and the centering of title/author/etc is handled by the style
sheet), or should I delete it (noting that I have done so in the
markupblurb, of course)?
