[samigo-team] [Building Sakai] Including a space between the choice key and answer in a MC question

[Shawn Foster]

Sorry, David, but I don't agree with this patch: adding an arbitrary 
number of physical spaces to add spacing to a page is neither semantic 
nor flexible.

I see in Sakai trunk that this problem is already fixed: as John already 
mentioned, answers are automatically wrapped in the mcAnswerText span, 
which adds some spacing by default with the inline-table display. If 
more spacing is desired, the class's style can be overwritten by adding 
margin-left (as Steve suggested) to the tool_sam.css stylesheet or with 
the site's skin.
