Ignoring CRLF after start tags and before end tags

If you have any comments to make regarding this test, e-mail ian@hixie.ch.

Prerequisites

Browsers that are subjected to this test should support basic HTML elements.

In HTML, a newline appearing after a start tag or before an end tag should be ignored. This is quite a simple concept, wouldn't you think?

1. A Formatted Preformatted PRE

In the text below, all lines should end at the same column.

01234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678
This is 
some
 text, interspersed 
with some
 inline 
formatting
elements. 
Every
 single 
line of this dummy
 text should start
and end at the same place.  Now we'll just fill to the end.
01234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678

Emacs/W3 and Opera 4 (alpha) both get this right!!!

2. Whiskers

The image below should not have "whiskers", that is, no underlining should be visible to the left and right of the image link (note, though, that underlining should be visible under the image itself, since it is transparent).

The link: :knil ehT

(Note. The underlining is actually a bottom border.)

3. Another test

The following text:

One 
Two  Three  Four
 Five   Six
Seven

...should have rendered identically to the following:

One Two  Three  Four
 Five   SixSeven
