Wouldn't that mean that you could get very ugly margins? Say for markup like
<div style="white-space:-moz-pre-wrap; border: 5px solid black;">
<span style="background:yellow">
Word Word Word Word Word Word...
</span>
</div>
The spaces between the words might overlap into the margin of the div,
and that overlap will vary from row to row. I've seen some editing
programs do this when you select text (i.e. the selected spaces off the
end are rendered) and it looks horrible.
I would suggest we always collapse them instead. I suspect people are
using white-space:pre and white-space:-moz-pre-wrap to get spaces
between words rendered, not spaces at the end of lines.
