Well, to be REALLY pedantic, the <p> marker doesn't force a line break.
It does whatever the paragraph break is supposed to do, whether that's
vertical boundry space, boundry with indent, indent alone, outdent,
continuous with pilcrow, etc. It's all dependant on what the browser is
set up to support, what styles are in effect, whether they're from the
site or overridden by the user, etc. HTML is not layout.
