The problem here is that "white-space: pre" is only supported by IE6 in standards compliance mode[1], but the DTD declaration for this page:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

surprisingly triggers IE6 quirks mode[2]. A quick fix to this problem would be changing the doctype declaration to use XHTML 1.0 Transitional instead of Strict, as that would trigger IE6 standards-compliance mode.
