Ok, makes sense.

Yes, they are different.  In HTML, @format is in <pre> while @flushleft
is simply in a <p align="left">.  In Info the spaces are kept as is in
@format, but processed as if it was in a paragraph in @flushleft.

For example

@format
aaa  bb
  cc
@end format

@flushleft
aaa  bb
  cc
@end flushleft

leads to 

aaa  bb
  cc

aaa bb
cc
