Comment (by azaozz):

 The four tags that need "special treatment" are `pre`, `scritp`, `style`
 and `textarea`. We want to generally preserve line breaks/white space in
 them and prevent any extra tags like `<br>`. This needs to happen in both
 wpautop -- JS and PHP.

 In addition:
 - For `<pre>` we need to keep consecutive white spaces.
 - For `<textarea>` we may have to make sure `</textarea>` is escaped to
 `</textarea>` (needs testing).

 The above patches are a good start but thinking we can handle these four
 tags in the same way as suggested in [#comment:5 comment 5]. This needs to
 be in both JS and PHP.
