when using spaceBefore / spaceAfter in CE there is no chance to get rid of clear.gif

As this is in tslib_content:
if ($spaceBefore || $spaceAfter) {$content=$this->wrapSpace($content, $spaceBefore.'|'.$spaceAfter);}

it will wrapped with the clear.gif any time.

So there is no alternative way like Joey presents in newsgroup:

tt_content.stdWrap { ### spaceBefore ###
prepend = TEXT
prepend.field = spaceBefore
prepend.wrap = <div style="clear:both;height:|px;margin:0;font-size:0px;">
prepend.if.isTrue.field = spaceBefore

1. spaceAfter ###
   append = TEXT
   append.field = spaceAfter
   append.wrap = <div style="clear:both;height:|px;margin:0;font-size:0px;">
   append.if.isTrue.field = spaceAfter

1. content.space ###
   outerWrap.cObject = COA
   outerWrap.cObject {
   10 = TEXT
   10 {
   outerWrap =<div|>
   value = {$content.space}
   split {
   token = |
   cObjNum = 1
   1.current = 1
   1.noTrimWrap = | |px 0px|
   }
   noTrimWrap = | style="margin:|;"|
   }
   20 = TEXT
   20.value = |
   }
   }

This snippet works, but clear.gif is present also.
