New issue 1434 by pnorcks: SVG backend: xml:space="preserve" is needed for
<text> and/or <tspan>
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1434
If the value inside <text> or <tspan> has leading or trailing whitespace
characters, these whitespace characters are removed by default. This
behavior agrees with the SVG/XML recommendations.
With LilyPond, we want to *preserve* this whitespace, because any space
within \markup strings is significant. We can use the
attribute "xml:space" with the value "preserve" to make the whitespace
significant within <text> or <tspan>, but...
There are some cross-application issues; in particular, applications that
use librsvg render <text> or <tspan> elements in embarrassing ways when
they use xml:space="preserve".
It would be nice to verify that librsvg is at fault, and if so, file a
bug. Then we can move forward with this.
