I don't know ASP.net all that well since I'm the open source skunkworks guy in my organisation. But sometime I look at applications produced by our ICT department and I notice that they carry a whole load of crap in this ViewState thing. I'm only vaguely aware of what it does, which is apparently more than ICT do because lots of weird behaviour happens when you use the back button in the browser. Coming back to the actual point: I don't care what your source code looks like when it's sent to my browser. Presumably the developer features of modern browsers should be able to show/export a cleaned up version of the source? I've never checked since I only look at my own pages, which are of course beautifully indented...
