Actually it does, according to the
standard. Specified whitespace characters are separators only. CR and LF are also whitespace characters. All whitespace should be consolidated back to represent a single break between words. The behaviour you see in your browsers is definitely non-compliant. Do you see any difference if you place the text inside <p>...</p> ? (Which is how any ebook will present its paragraphs.)

Yes, there are options, but few are as easy to achieve as a double-tap on the spacebar.
The plugin I use to export from LibreOffice actually converts <space><space> to <space>, but this has it's own problems (upsets justification), so I always remove double-spaces before export.
