First off, let me preface this by saying that I've used <P></P> pairs on my
personal web pages from the beginning.

<P> usually puts an extra line so to duplicate the spaceing, we'd probably

However, I always thought that <P> stand-alone was how the paragraph tag was
orginially defined and therefore would be historicly correct...
