The downside to that is the fact that the file on disk won't quite  
match up with the editor view. The trailing spaces will be removed in  
the file on disk, but TextMate won't know that, and will continue to  
display them until you reopen the file.

This might not be a problem (the original poster mentioned that the  
trailing spaces caused him trouble when he took the same files to vi,  
so as long as the saves always happen without trailing spaces it  
might be fine).

Good catch. The macro solution (using a second empty command with  
"Save File" set)  handles this situation just fine, which is another  
argument in favor of that method.
