Currently, 'Form Feed' (U+000C) is turned to zero-width glyph. However, they should be collapsed like space. See http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/text.html#didx-white_space-1 Gecko currently renders them as whitespace *without* collapsing them. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=373268
Related to this bug is bug 13136. In the page given at the URL, there should be just a single space between 'XXX' and 'XXX'. Currently, there's no space at all because all control characters are turned to a zero-width glyph.
It looks like Mozilla closed their bug as "invalid" citing the CSS spec saying that these should be rendered as spaces but not collapsed. To best understand this bug, we'll need a test case which demonstrates how we behave differently from Gecko or IE.

jshin, is there anything to do here still?
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-text/#white-space-rules http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/text.html#white-space-prop Neither of the specs for whitespace processing treat form feeds as in scope. So IE and Opera are wrong and there's nothing to do here.
