I suppose your editor could give you the view you prefer. Couldn't it also map your changes back to the original document by discarding foldable whitespace?

The team just needs to standardize on something and go with it. I don't think people would like my method though. ReSharper makes this easy by letting you include the formatting settings in a file that travels with the solution. Good diff tools (not the crap one that comes with TFS) will be able to highlight difference in a single line, but I still like this method better. My eyes don't move over the entire set of attribute values to find the one I'm looking for. That’s true. The team just needs to standardize on something and go with it.

Didn't you and I run into trouble with that a few times? I remember heated battles over where the opening curly brace was "supposed to go". :) http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001254.html Diffs will be very hard if someone else comes along who does not like this way and reformats things like that to their own personal liking instead.
