Given that Geany does not know what parser is going to be used my feeling is that Geany should not by default encourage something that might not be legal.

I'm rather thinking the contrary, that Geany should support wider use cases so long as it doesn break another one. And thus I would think the parser should accept leading whitespaces as well.

And I don't think that we can rely on this file type to guarantee any particular syntax, for example the parser accepts ; comments, and I didn't look again but I guess the lexer has similar extension that breaks your expectations of the highlighting being a validator or similar.
