           Summary: pre element does not strip a leading newline character
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML DOM
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: boostcpp at gmail.com


In the HTML5 specification.
pre element has this note.

Note: In the HTML syntax, a leading newline character immediately following the pre element start tag is stripped.

So for a following markup(including newline)

<pre>
a
</pre>

Webkit must strip a leading newline and behave as if it is written as

<pre>a
</pre>


Also, textContent for this pre element's node must be "a\n".
