What rules deal with attribute values with trailing spaces, or tags or
attribute values with embedded newlines? Examples below: the HREF with
embedded newline, the SRC with trailing spaces, and IMG tag spread over
multiple lines.
<a href="myself.html
">
<img src="/images/picture.gif " width="80"
height="65"
alt="What, me worry?"></a>

White space (including linebreaks) between attributes is not significant,
use it as much as you like - I use this often to keep lines short.
Regarding white space in attribute values: the HTML Spec says
User agents may ignore leading and trailing white space in CDATA
attribute values.
<http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/types.html#h-6.2>
I have not tested this in detail, but I think that most browsers do strip
the white space - I have seen various sites with such links and it seems to
work. But you should not rely on it, some UAs may not do it and encounter a
broken link.

<span id=foo onclick="alert('Don\'t \
forget to include \
this')">Click me</span>

How about something like this:
<div id="content" class="example TemplateExample">whatever</div>
How is that handled? Also what is the benefit?

That declares a <div> element that belongs to two distinct classes. The
benefit might be some elegance/efficiency in the associated CSS.
