My recommendation is that:
* SVG honor the xml:space attribute. If xml:space="default", then throw out
extraneous whitespace automatically, just like HTML If
xml:space="preserve", then draw spaces and ignore tabs, CR and LF. (there
may be some complexities here, but that would be the general model)
