Sorry - I misread, "I like that behavior," as, "I am glad that Lynx
has this behavior," instead of, "I chose this behavior for Lynx."
I am still going to be critical though - but differently.
As an <hr> can not be part of a <p>, its appearance should imply the
end of the <p>. The implied end and an express end should be
identical. Authors who know the DTD may rely on the structure that it
expresses; I rarely, if ever, use </p>.
Likewise, uncontained text should be assumed to be in its own <p>, and
should be handled identically to an explicit <p>. Thus:
<body> <body> <body> <body>
<p>Line 1. Line 1. Line 1. <p>Line 1.</p>
<hr> <hr> <hr> <hr>
Line 2. Line 2. <p>Line 2. <p>Line 2.</p>
</body> </body> </body> </body>
should all be handled identically, IMO. (FWIW, SGMLS produces an
identical ESIS, mod a few '\n's, for each of these, if anyone cares.)
