I know from the earlier incarnation of this thread that you feel
that 'white-space: pre-wrap' is insufficient for this purpose, but
I'm not at all clear as to why. Surely that should preserve the
author's inter-sentence spacing intent quite clearly, and only
requires that they be careful about linefeeds just after the opening
tag and just before the closing tag[1] since those would be preserved
as well, if present. I can't help but feel I'm missing something,
but what?
[1] I seem to recall a proposal to control how those linefeeds are
handled, but I can't seem to find it now. Anyone have a lead for a
forgetful old-timer?
