lynx-dev <center> inserts <p>

for the past few months Yahoo's Reuter/AP stories have annoyingly contained
a long list of links spaced down the centre of the screen:
today, this has been cleaned up due to revised HTML.
the problem was in fact how Lynx 2-8pre.2 renders <center> tags,
as a test file reveals:

<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>Test page: centring & line spacing</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
<center>line 1</center>
<center>line 2</center>
end of test
</BODY></HTML>

is rendered


                                   line 1
                                      
                                   line 2
                                      
   end of test

Lynx is adding the equivalent of <P> after each centred line.
i'm willing to investigate further in the HTML specs,
but first does anyone have any comments?

for TD: if this does justify a change in behaviour, leave it till 2-8-2.
