It's amazing to see the Big Companies, with their Big Bucks, ignoring the
standards... why do they do that? The HTML their tools create is really
*awful*.

It's clear to me, I don't need to make it clear to somebody who doesn't
know HTML.
And if you write:
<p>dddddddddddd. dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd.
<p>ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
ddddddd. ddddddddddddddddddddddddd.
It's clear what the <p>'s are and you are also handling the problem of
broken browsers (`</p><p>' == `<p>*2').
