Summary: <br> and <address> do not segment in HTLM documents

Initial Comment:
In 1.4.6 (beta 2 and beta 3)
In HTML documents, the tags <br> and <address> do 
not generate new segments.

<br> is obviously a break.

<address> is a block-level element, thus should 
segment.

From W3C:
HTML 3.2
The ADDRESS element requires start and end tags, 
and specifies information such as authorship and 
contact details for the current document.*User agents 
should render the content with paragraph-breaks before 
and after*. Note that the content is restricted to 
paragraphs, plain text and text-like elements as defined 
by the %text entity. 

Html 4.01
<!ENTITY % block
     "P | %heading; | %list; | %preformatted; | DL | DIV | 
NOSCRIPT |
      BLOCKQUOTE | FORM | HR | TABLE | FIELDSET | 
ADDRESS">

The attached file allows to reproduce the issue.

Thanks to Jean-Christophe Helary,

Now I know how to solve this bug and segment on <br> only in
sentence segmenting mode.

Of course to be sure I'll modify the HTML filter so that
<br> tag is not shortcut: it'll stay <brXXX>, in order to
distinguish it from <b> tag
and I'll add <br\d+> break ("<br" and ">" are just symbols,
and \d+
meaning one or more digits).

Thanks a lot for the idea, JC!

Sorry, I wasn't clear on that. In the current version, <br> 
doesn't segment, even in sentence-segmenting mode.
It should at least segment in this case.

In the case of paragraph-segmenting, I think it really depends 
on how <br> is used. In some cases, sentences on both 
sides of the <br> are really different paragraphs. In other 
cases, they might belong to the same paragraph.
I think I would be generally in favour of segmenting for <br>, 
even in paragraph mode.
But that's just my opinion.

<br> is definitely a soft break, no need for
paragraph-segmenting, in my opinion.
<address> was definitely forgotten, will appear in 1.4.6 beta 4
