Currently, CSS3 Text tries to address this problem with the collapsing rules here: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-text/#line-break-transform IE implements something along those lines, but none of the other browsers do. Koji and I think the rules in the spec right now are probably the right behavior; but there's an open question on Web-compatibility. (CSS2.1 left this particular issue undefined.) ~fantasai
