That's right, WebDriver's mechanism for fetching the visible text
replaces tabs with spaces.

Reporting this here because I'm not sure where else to post it and also
because it's perhaps already been reported as a bug.
I have a web page that contains tab-delimited text.
When I go to that page using Watir and the following code...
