Tye I give this a major ++.

However I am not sure I understand your third paragraph as you intended. My confusion stems from this:

Regxp: signaling when to stop and Re: use lib functionality are the latest among the June-to-date nodes which use "</br>."

In the case of the second (for its brevity), the opening line(s) render this way (color and font excepted), for me, in IE6, FF & Moz:

Hi,</br></br> This Module simplifies the manipulation of @INC at compile time.</br></br> Using

When observed with ViewSource (html validator is on), I see:

<p>
Hi,<font color="#808080" class="htmlignored">&lt;/br></font><font colo
+r="#808080" class="htmlignored">&lt;/br></font>


This ...</p>

Is this an indication that the </br> tags were processed by an existing "silent (and automated) transformation" or merely an artifact of the browser, ViewSource and the validator?
