BOTH false.  Look at docs/CHANGES2.7 to see that the developer
is not anonymous.  Look at the lynx-dev archives preceeding the 
change to review the discussion that brought on the change, and
why the cop-out in lynx.cfg was established.

Multiple BRs are meaningless as Al has pointed out.  If an author
needs that kind of *formating* in an HTML document, he should be
using a PRE block that contains the number of carriage returns
he needs.
