Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text-3] whitespace inside text areas (#6309) from Florian Rivoal via GitHub on 2021-05-31 (public-css-archive@w3.org from May 2021)

The spec for contenteditable/execcommand claims that if white-space is normal, then when the user presses space repeatedly, the UA is supposed to insert a mix of spaces and of &amp;nbsp;s: https://w3c.github.io/editing/docs/execCommand/#canonical-space-sequences. I don't believe this is particularly well supported, and I'm unsure as to whether textareas fall under the same behavior (I think so).

Having white-space:pre-wrap or white-space:break-spaces in the UA stylesheet seems advisable, but if the author explicitely asks for white-space:normal, presumably that's what they should get?
