Details

A button element defaults its white-space value to pre. I think (IMHO etc) that
the principle of least surprise indicates that its white-space value should
default to normal.

Here is a minimal test page

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html
     PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
     "DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
    <head>
        <title>button test</title>
    </head>

    <body>
        <form>
            <button style="white-space: normal;">
                this       is       some      text
            </button>
        </form>
    </body>
</html>

Nice one Jesse.  You posted just ahead of me (midair...)! :-)

Andrew FYI why not put your testcase into an attachment so someone can review
your example without having to create the testcase for themselves. Use the
"Create a New
Attchment" link to attach a testcase. :-)
