No. It should mean "newlines and spaces significant."
Since one can already imbed codes in PRE sections, the
browsers are already screwing around with the formatting. A line
break primitive makes for messy coding (I sure wouldn't want to
format Shakespeare with it).
I need one of two things:
a) PRE defaults to the proportional spaced font.
or
b) A primitive (<R> for Roman?) that forces the viewer to use the
proportional spaced font.
