Hi Hazen:

I have found a good reference on this question.  See
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/text.html and look for "xml:space".

svg.c specifies xml:space "preserve" which is the reason indentation and
line endings made a difference with the old code.  I think we still want
this option (since the user may want some legitimate extra whitespace in
his plot labels) so I think the present code (which preserves user white space
but makes sure svg.c doesn't add any) is exactly what we want.
