*I don't know if it has any formal coverage, most of these estoric languages don't, but it does have a description at http://compsoc.dur.ac.uk/whitespace/ and there does seem to be an article at http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/03/31/1048962694949.html covering the topic. It is an interesting twist on the conventional idea of a programming language, as most languages ''ignore'' whitespace. Again there is not much formal academic references to the topic, but it is covered by multiple 3rd party sources including newsgroups etc, whether or not this widespread discussion of a concept is enough for wikipedia I don't know.
