There's another alternative that lets you retain the white-space in the

restore the font-size on the paragraphs with a value other than EMs or

Have you checked how white-space in such an arrangement is handled in
browsers with 'minimum font size' set, 'font size ignored' or font-size
overridden ?

Now you made me double-check. :)
In Webkit, I can only find a minimum font size setting. (Safari; Chrome)??
In Firefox, there's an additional "Allow pages to choose their own fonts"
checkbox. Normally this is set, so I tried toggling it. No problem.
In IE I only have 6,7, and 8 available now. These have "Accessibility"
options as you describe. Only the "Ignore font sizes set on webpages" option
causes this method to fail completely.
In 6 and 7, there is an extra one pixel gap. Easily fixed with a -1px
margin-right. { *margin-right: -1px; }
All other tests with minimum font size set, or other text size settings work
fine in all modern browsers. (Firefox tested back to version 3.0.)
So, yes. Not perfect. But I can only find the one edge case that can't be
fixed. (IE's "Ignore font sizes...") Can you please point to cases I missed?
(Thanks for challenging my assumptions.)
