Apache SSI is dumping whitespace all over my HTML

I am trying to use SSI for includes and to set some variables, but it is dumping whitespace all over my HTML. Is it possible to avoid this?

HTML FILE:




INCLUDE FILE:

Variables:
header-title
header-description

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en" />
<head>
...

RENDERED HTML:

<!DOCTYPE... (output starts here after several blank lines)

But I would like to squeeze the whitespace out of the rendered HTML. Is this possible? Also, I used hexdump to confirm I do not have UTF8 BOM in my file.

Thank you,
William Entriken

My suggestion would be to try it as follows instead:

Thank you.

Also, I found a behavior (undocumented?) that allows multiple sets at once:

<!--#set
var="header-title" value="Help - Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ"

var="header-description" value="Answers to common questions..."

-->
