Under Netscape Communicator, putting the <P> tag between <LI> tags allows you to
space you unordered lists.  However, this spacing does not work under mozilla
(as of the latest nightly build 4/10/99).  I'm not sure whether this is an error
or simply something that is not allowed under the actual html spec.


The following html snippet demonstrates what I mean:
----------------------------------------------------
<UL>
<LI>Blah
<P>
<LI>blah
</UL>
----------------------------------------------------


Versions I was using:
Netscape - 4.51
Mozilla - Tried to find version numbers.  couldn't find them.  Other than the
build id, which was 1999041010

The page lays out correctly, according to the CSS and HTML4 specs. However, its
not compatible with nav4.
Whiteboard: [TESTCASE]
That's a definitive testcase there.
Another note for later: The reason no vertical space is introduced is because
the P element ends up empty (as it should). According to the HTML4 spec, empty P
elements should have no visual affect.

Updating to default Layout Assignee...kipp no longer with us :-(
Why are you re-reassing layout bugs? Do NOT touch layout bugs.

The bugs are assigned to Kipp so they can stay neatly organized until we have a
new owner for the block/inline code.

Bulk moving [testcase] code to new testcase keyword. Sorry for the spam!

With the recent decision to remove the ignoring of empty paragraphs, this should
fix itself. 

Removing "compat" keyword, as this is now a standard compliance issue.

David -- the empty paragraph here will now not collapse away. The margins on
this empty paragraph will in fact become rather important, which seems to me to
go completely against the spirit of the spec. Hmm... I hope you're happy! ;-)

BTW, see bug 35772 for the reasoning behind the change of the rules.

Marking 4xp. Nom. nsbeta2, recc. nsbeta2 6/22, becoming nsbeta3+ if miss. 
Backward compat. with behavior of Nav4 for basic HTML 3.2 content on the web. 
Lots of folks used these hacks to control spacing.
