The midas editor will improperly merge to <p>'s that contain trailing and leading href's removing one of 
the hrefs.  The two distinct hrefs should not be collapsed into one.

This has been tested on Firefox 1.06 for Mac and Windows.
This has been tested and confirmed on DP A2 20050829 nightly for Mac and Windows.

6. Press backspace
7. Check View HTML Source
Actual Results:

Reproducible with Mozilla 1.8b1 and SeaMonkey/20050828, also reproducible in
Composer (paste in HTML Source View, backspace in Normal View).
