Comment 15 for bug 1204732

It seems like the suggested patch fixes the symptom, not the underlying cause; I would have guessed that the "description" inx element would be the correct place to include desired whitespace.

While we have removed the empty parameters in the Eggbot and Hershey Text extensions that caused the crash, we were indeed using them to provide whitespace, so the "off-topic" question is relevant for finding a workaround.
