Details 
DESCRIPTION:  In order to attempt to comply with a vague statement in HTML 4.0,
Kipp put in some code somewhere in Layout that causes empty P elements not to
take up space, even if they have CSS applied to them.  I brought this up on
www-html, and the reply from Dan Connolly (chairman of the HTML WG at the time,
according to http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/about.html#h-1.3 ) makes me think
this was not the intent of the spec.  See:

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-html/2000Apr/0024.html (my message)

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-html/2000Apr/0128.html (Dan Connolly)

I'll try to come up with steps to reproduce later, if you want.  I think Ian has
some tests for the (incorrect) behavior.

Just to clarify, when David says "quirk" he means in its literal meaning and
not in the Mozilla "NavQuirks Mode" meaning.

My testcases will hopefully be fixed at the start of May.

Nom. nsbeta3, recc. nsbeta3+. Need to nail down correctness of CSS handling 
issues by nsbeta3. Dropping elements is bad.
Keywords: nsbeta3
I have the basic fix for handling <P>'s of all sorts in a backwards compatible 
way.
