It seems like the first formatted line ought to be the line of the
DIV that contains the P and the word etcetera.

That's how I interpret the spec, at least.  I think it's trying to
say that the first formatted line is the first line of the block,
unless the block has a block-level child (or block level child's
block level child, etc.) with an earlier line.
