The issue is that <egXML> is transformed into <div class="pre">.
In tei.css, div.pre just inherits white-space handling (so that it wraps
whitespace). tei-print.css has white-space styling that produces correct
results.

Sebastian, is there any reason why

  white-space: pre;

shouldn't be added to the rule set for div.pre in any CSS stylesheet
that has one?
