[Mozile] White space handling

[James A. Overton]

	Thanks for the suggestion. I think it would be good to add the shift- 
key features you suggest.
	The key drawback is that it isn't intuitive to a first-time user.  
You expect a word-processor to insert and display a space each time  
you press the space bar. On the other hand, XML collapses white space.
	I think there has to be a mode which will insert white space in a  
way which works like a word processor. IE already does this, but  
Mozilla will have to be made to do it.
