But the whole point of it is to have the data properly formated in an xml document so I can do fun stuff with xsl and stylesheets :). Line breaks won't cut it.

Consider the following lines of fake poetry:

Now consider making a xml document out of it, where you had some
elements for structure like <poem> and <line>; and some elements for
content markup like <q> and others.
So how would you format it? (Assuming keeping the quote and lines are
both need to be the appropriate elements and style is not important, yet)



Fake the PRE element. It automatically tosses new lines on new lines,
unlike the usual element. Also, inline elements can go multi-line in
PRE.
