<pre>The HTML spec says
<span class="quote">> If current node is a pre, textarea, or listing element, and the first child node of the element, if any, is a Text node whose character data has as its first character a U+000A LINE FEED (LF) character, then append a U+000A LINE FEED (LF) character.</span >

This is because otherwise it doesn't round-trip correctly if the data starts with a LF.
