Description
BeautifulSoup's formatter='html' should probably be used, although it would be nice not to have all unicode characters converted to entities.
Additionally, space between a button and a another tag like a link is lost.
Example source file:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p>A paragraph with a non-breakable space</p>
<p>And one with various spaces</p>
<a href="#">A link</a>
<button>A button</button>
</body>
</html>
Minified output:
<!DOCTYPE html><html><head></head><body><p>A paragraph with a non-breakable space</p><p>And one with various spaces</p><a href="#">A link</a><button>A button</button></body></html>

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with the HTML example and the minifier's BeautifulSoup formatter='html' path. Compare handling of , , , and , along with whitespace between the link and button. Done means the documented space entities and inter-element spacing are preserved as intended without converting every Unicode character to an entity.
