I recently realized that Hackernews deletes double spaces.

  That’s just standard web handling of white space, isn’t it? Or do you mean something different?

    HTML will ignore extra whitespace, but when you input stuff into a text box, the way it's displayed will depend on choices made by the site. I don't know whether there are standard choices, and I'd bet that they use very basic choices here, but it's just too bad.
