preserving whitespace with svg.js

I would like to draw text with SVG.JS and preserve whitespace

var draw = SVG('drawing')
var text = draw.text("040: .P .E       .L 01                         ")

just prints:

040: .P .E .L 01

I was suggested

this.el.lines.each(function() {
      this.exportAttr({
        'xml:space': 'preserve'
      })
    })

but this doesn't seem to work, as https://raw.github.com/wout/svg.js/master/dist/svg.js doesn't contain exportAttr.

I see my suggestion was wrong because it targets the export plugin. It should be this of course:

var text = draw.text(' with     a lot of    white t e    s p a c e')
text.lines.attr('xml:space', 'preserve', 'http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace')
