I'd rather say they do. One is like a space, two or more end a paragraph 
and start a new one. If newlines are stripped away, the meaning of the 
TeX code can change, in some cases dramatically (e.g. if comments are 
written to the TeX code).

Also, I don't understand why the option is called strip.white, at least 
for results=tex. The docs say that "blank lines at the beginning and end 
of output are removed", but the observed behavior is to remove the 
terminating carriage return of the output.
