Andrew Buntine. Preformated text only means the following:<br />
When handling preformatted text, visual user agents:<br />
<br />
* May leave white space intact.<br />
* May render text with a fixed-pitch font.<br />
* May disable automatic word wrap.<br />
* Must not disable bidirectional processing.<br />
<br />
