Good question. A :line pseudo-element is a bit overkill for solving
this problem (and unlikely to get much traction, given how difficult
:first-line is to spec and implement). But, I'm pretty sure we could
solve your problem with better options for the text-indent property!
e.g.
pre {
text-indent: 2em hanging each-line;
}
We already have "text-indent: 2em hanging" proposed in CSS3 Text.
