No, luckily it's not.

We're discussing the formatting of whitespace-sensitive areas, like
<screen>, which currently we have to do as:

<screen># something as root
# something else as root</screen>

which currently can equivalently described as

<screen>
# something as root
# something else as root
</screen>

It seems that there may be a difference in the future though.
