Since isblank() isn't syscall :-) IBCS2 stuff takes it from native SVR4 libc, BSD code not used here at all. >SunOS, Digital UNIX, and all various versions of SVR4 (Solaris 2,x, >IRIX 5.x/6.x, NEWS-OS 6.x, and Unixware 2.x) all say '\t' is not blank. >HPUX-10 and AIX-4 say it is, but they're not contenders for iBSC.

So, if behavior is unclear and no docs exists, lets not change from one unclear behaviour to another but wait until some specifications comes on this subj. -- Andrey A.
