I actually prefer it that way as
 <tag>
  blah blah blah
  blah
 </tag><tag>
  blH BLAH BLAH
 </tag>

Reads a lot easier than

 <tag>blah blah blah
 blah</tag>
 <tag>blH BLAH BLAH</tag>

I've been re-coding a dynamic website, essentially hand-patching.  I
found that format was the easiest to work out what was going on.

Oh, as Dennis pointed out to me later, my way is broken, eg

<p>
 The type of CD is indicated under each entry.
 <ul>

Should be
<p>
 The type of CD is indicated under each entry.
</p>
<ul>

ie unnumbered lists cannot be in paragraphs.
