[plt-scheme] Request for pretty-printing in webserver

display-xml is broken.  It inserts newlines into the middle of whitespace
sensitive tags, resulting in a document that means something different.
For example '(p "This text is " (em "important") "!!!") would have
extra space before the !!!'s.  The function needs to accept a listof tags
where newlines are (or are not) allowed.
