Comment (by dmsnell):

 > The expected trees are:

 @jonsurrell I think there might be a mistake in this declaration, as I
 would consider the two inputs identical.

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 $this->assertEqualHTML(
   "<p> x</p>",
   "<p>\nx</p>"
 );
 }}}

 Should produce the following tree in both cases.

 {{{
 <p>
   " x"
 }}}

 This is because of whitespace normalization. If we wanted the newline we’d
 need a character reference instead of the actual newline character.
