I think this is very much against the separation of content and layout. 
Why would you let the editors screw up your layout by occasionally 
putting *variable* amount fo whitespace between CEs? If you really think 
that it could be useful in some cases to have space before and after, 
you can define a class=spaced and have editors select that. But leaving 
too much freedom in styling to editors will hurt your site's consistency.
