This is just crazy. The name "line" may not be a great choice, but the element type in question is a step away from presentation and toward structural semantics. As the 'section' type is to the 'hr' type, the 'line'/'l' type is to the 'br' type. A 'line' element has an implication: "This text is to be taken as a unit, with some meaning inferred from keeping it together. (In visual presentation, one line break should precede it and one line break should follow it.)" -- Etan Wexler <mailto:ewexler@stickdog.com>
