I'm saying that what needs to happen here needs to be clearly defined and 
unambiguous, and needs to be compatible with existing HTML content.

The proposal at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2008Mar/0024.html 
seems acceptable to me for these purposes.  It'll be a bit of a pain to 
implement when the text is "white-space: pre" and split over multiple textnodes, 
some of which are whitespace-only and some are not...  But then again, the whole 
thing about anonymous table box generation is a major pain to implement, so this 
might be no worse.

There should certainly be some careful tests for this in the CSS 2.1 test suite...
