Hi All,
 
This issue might have similar solution as the line-increment 
for <tspan>, but here goes...
 
In test text-align-201-t <tspan> element is given attribute 
xml:space="preserve". Whether this should be respected or not
is not absolutely clear. 
Firstly, SVGT1.2 specification states that "SVG supports the 
standard XML attribute 'xml:space' to specify the handling of 
white space characters within a given text content block element's 
character data", and in 
<URL:https://www.w3.org/TR/SVGMobile12/intro.html#TermTextContentBlockEle
ment> 
the term "text content block element" is explicitly defined to 
include only <text> and <textArea>. On the other hand, the 
"xml:space" attribute is listed in the attribute table 
<URL:https://www.w3.org/TR/SVGMobile12/attributeTable.html#attribute_xml_
_space> 
for <tspan> and <tbreak> as well, indicating the (reasonable)
assumption that it should be possible to control whitespace
handling in all SVG's text elements.
Has this been already fixed in specification version that is
under development?
Yours,
  - Kalle Raita
