Such changes are controversial, but personally I find them good. As for 
entity changes, like using &base; instead of ../.. or such, I can say 
the entities are better for translators. I can easily notice what is 
linked from my translated pages and what is from the English ones with 
&enbase;. As for the double spaces, they are also useful when updating 
translated webpages. I can easily count which sentence has been changed 
and can easily find the equivalent. And as for the indentation, I 
consider it good in general to have systematic files, that look the same 
and follow the same guidelines. It is just easier to work with such stuff.
