Minify is not using the full potential of Minification.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It is not the full potential of Minification used, because unnecessary spaces 
exist in the minified files.

For example, a minified file containing the following:
    background:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) repeat scroll 0% 0% / auto padding-box border-box;
Although this would go shorter:
    background:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) repeat scroll 0% 0%/auto padding-box border-box;

In some places even double spaces are available:
    background:-webkit-linear-gradient(top,  rgba(76,105,186,1) 0%,rgba(59,85,160,1) 100%);
Although this would also go shorter:
    background:-webkit-linear-gradient(top, rgba(76,105,186,1) 0%,rgba(59,85,160,1) 100%);

According gtmetrix.com the minified files can be smaller by 1-2%. It would be 
good if the full potential would be used, and the unnecessary spaces would be 
removed.

Here is the complete diff between the version of Minify, and the possible 
Minification of gtmetrix.com: http://www.diffchecker.com/h6eqk9uj 

This CSS file is from my web site http://nodecode.de . This website I run with 
the CMS WordPress, the Minify-engine I use in the plugin WP Minify Fix ( 
http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-minify-fix/ ) what is a further developed by 
myself, based on the dead WP Minify plugin. A user has brought to my attention 
that the minify not engine uses the full potential.
