Comment:
"If current node is a pre, textarea, or listing element, append a U+000A LINE
FEED (LF) character." - no browser does this and when we tried it caused
site-compat problems. It should either be removed or changed to only emit a
extra LF if the element's first child is a text node starting with a LF.
