The trailing spaces often come from the original tips on vim.org. This
is not related to the space prefix. The tip you gave as example has
this problem (this is easily visible if you use vim to edit the tips,
and if you use the 'list' option).

To remove all the trailing spaces and tabs with vim, you can use:
:%s/\s\+$//
