i was about to write the same comment ...

having pursued the theory at great length -- no more please! -- ,
i had concluded that the consensus had come down to  2  camps:
 COLLAPSE_BR_TAGS=ALL  &  COLLAPSE_BR_TAGS=NOPAIRS ;
what dev.22 gives is  COLLAPSE_BR_TAGS=NONE  &  COLLAPSE_BR_TAGS=NOPAIRS .

again, does ANYONE want  COLLAPSE_BR_TAGS=NONE ?
if not, the source needs a small revision to give the desired alternatives,
but the important thing is to make  COLLAPSE_BR_TAGS=NOPAIRS  the default,
for the benefit of ordinary users confronted with commonplace documents,
whatever the scholarly conclusions may one day be as to their validity.
