It makes more sense, if you think about it in CSS3 terms. 'white-space' is a shorthand property that sets several propertes, including some for newline handling and some for word wrapping. Why would half of those (word wrapping, hyphenation) happen _after_ generated content, and the other half (newline handling, white space collapsing) happen _before_? -- Ian Hickson )\._.,--....,'``. fL "meow" /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,. http://index.hixie.ch/ `._.-(,_..'--(,_..'`-.;.'
