#3752 Paragraph tags wonky

[Dave Rutherford]

The following text, posted in HTML mode as any sort of
comment, both explains and exploits the bug.

This paragraph not preceded by a marker...
<p>means that this one will have no whitespace above it
<p>even though this one does.
<p>Now let's get tricky. I'll
<blockquote><tt>quote something</tt></blockquote>
and try to continue
<p><p>but <i>this</i> paragraph needs <i>two</i>
markers before there's proper spacing.

I'll send the same as an attachment in case sourceforge
eats, parses, or corrupts the html tags.
