@ Testing on Mosaic 2.4 shows that CR has no effect inside <PRE>.
@ I have no idea where I got the notion that it did.

Various HTTPD's have, in the past, mapped CR and LF to CRLF under the
theory "be conservative in what you send and liberal in what you
accept."

I found this out while experimenting with embedded images.

@ So, should the spec say that CR is a word space in all contexts
@ except for <PRE> in which it has no effect?

This would be good, IMHO.
