You could just do it like this:

  [%- DEFAULT
    mc =3D 'WPJF1';

  IF mc =3D=3D 'WPJF1';
    SET shipping =3D '4.95';
  ELSIF mc =3D=3D 'WPJF4';
    SET shipping =3D '2.95';
  END;
  -%]<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

This way, there is no chance of whitespace slipping through.  Plus,
it's a little easier to read.
