My gut feeling is that the change to swap which side is examined first would end up to be a patch to rob Peter to pay Paul, and a line-by-line approach might end up paying too expensive a runtime cost in practice (and it should not really matter which side's whitespace the end result matches, because the user says "I do not care about whitespace changes", so paying that cost is not something we would want to do). So it may be that the best course of action may be documentation updates. But I haven't had a chance to think about it through yet to form a definite opinion.
