I would like to see <br> defined as paragraph separator by default. However,
this alone does not solve a specific use case that affects my work. I am
developing a web app that displays text extracted from a book or a newspaper in
a similar way to this site:
http://newspapers.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/1118868.
The requirement is to match exactly the line breaks in the original document
regardless of the font width. The problem is, for mixed rtl-ltr text, I need to
insert a line break that is not a bidi paragraph break.
If <br> is redefined as a bidi paragraph break instead of a line-break then, in
this case, the <br> will give the wrong reordering for the broken line.
