[Orgmode] Blank lines in literal html

[Wanrong Lin]

Hi,

Sometimes I use "htmlize" to  convert  a section of my buffer into html 
and then insert it into my org file with "#+BEGIN_HTML" and 
"#+END_HTML". One thing I noticed is the blank lines in the original 
text is "amplified". For example, I have a section like this in my org file:

#+BEGIN_HTML
<pre>
Line 1

Line 2 with a blank line in between
</pre>
#+END_HTML

When I export the above to a html file, there are actaully 3 blank lines 
between my "Line 1" and "Line 2".

Is the above a bug or I mis-configured something? Thank you very much.
