FWIW:

NS 4.7x, NS 6.1, Opera 5.0 seem good

IE 5.x and Amaya 5.1 ignore "white-space: pre;"

/* though from the above spec:

  CSS1 core: UAs may ignore the 'white-space' property in author's 
  and reader's style sheets, and use the UA's default values instead. 

  This "may ignore" is also part of CSS2 ...
