Yeah, I agree that it's generally harmless. My rationale for
preferring no-space-after-comma is that it's less misleading:
if you're used to other languages where space-after-comma has
no meaning at all, then it's easy to think that the two are
identical when they're not.

End-of-line-continuations are I think slightly different
because the fact that the space remains in the result is
a bit more obvious (the continuation just folds things).
