We don't currently plan to change this behaviour in IE9. Hi. This is o.k. for me I guess. I do wonder, however, would it be worthwhile to have a non-default option for break [br] in css that behaved as a paragraph break rather than as simply a line break? (The problem with [p] [/p] for some coders is it's considered best to close it and it is declared at the beginning of the line not the end; however for poetry [br] only makes sense as a line and not a paragraph break.)
