           Summary: Consider treating linebreaks in <pre> specially for
                    formatBlock etc.
           Product: WebAppsWG
           Version: unspecified

        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2

Consider this formatBlock testcase:

  ['<p>', '{<pre>&#10;foo&#10;&#10;bar&#10;</pre>}'],

Chrome 15 dev produces

 <p>&#10;foo<br>&#10;bar</p>

while the spec, IE9, and Firefox 8.0a2 produce

  <p>{foo&#10;bar&#10;&#10;}</p>

Opera 11.50 is similar to IE/Firefox.  Should we special-case this the way
WebKit does, or not?  WebKit probably better matches user expectations, but it
might be annoying to handle.  If we do special-case it, we likely want to just
replace all the newlines by <br> right before any time when we might plausibly
change the tag name.
