I don't mean to begin a jihad, and this speaks nothing to your question but
by the looks of your markup <br /> is what _should_ be used.  Regardless of
what web editors do, well formed markup is the writers responsibility.  As
markup moves more and more towards XML the rules become even more stringent.
<p> is a container, it should "contain" the text you want to affect.  If it
is HTML the ending </p> is optional, with XHTML it is required.  If you
simply require a line break to clear the line a <br /> should be used.

If I am telling you something you already know or if I am taking your markup
snippet out of context, I am sorry.
