Actually it does mention that the text should be in a text node rather
than the value attribute (and not label as I wrote, oops). It could be a
bit clearer though:
* With the default white-space: wrap; all whitespace runs (including
newlines) are treated as single spaces. Text is permitted to wrap.
* With white-space: pre; all whitespace, including newlines, is
rendered literally; text cannot wrap automatically.
* With white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; (there is no -moz-pre; style) all
whitespace is rendered literally, but text is additionally
permitted to wrap at spaces.
In any case, the text can also be made to wrap by inserting an
<html:br/> element.
