Description

In function comment_form (wp-includes/comment-template.php) there are several default HTML strings which output the form fields for users entering comments to a post.

The first two, "author" and "email" have a space between the </label> and the <input> elements, whereas the following two fields "url" and "comment_field" (from $defaults) do not have spaces between these elements.

From comment-template.php
line 1524: '</label> ' .
line 1526: '</label> ' .
line 1528: '</label>' .
line 1535: '</label><textarea

Note the spaces after the label element in lines 1524 & 1526 which are lacking in lines 1528 and 1535.

Suggested fix: add a space after the label element on lines 1528 and 1535 for consistency.

In the Twenty Eleven and Twenty Twelve themes this does not manifest itself as a problem, since the label element is displayed as a block.

However, if your theme displays the label inline, it manifests itself as a difference in spacing between the first two and second two elements, which cannot be easily overcome with CSS.

While this is a trivial issue, it should be ideally fixed for consistency and to avoid the need for workarounds when comment labels are displayed inline.
