Brian,

The <L> element was dropped last November, so we are left with <BR>.
The BR element is merely used to force a line break - it doesn't end
the current paragraph. I am also considering adding attributes to
the <P> element to allow authors to disable word wrap and collapsing
of white space.

HTML+ browsers will automatically infer missing paragraph elements so:

<H2>Prime Minister</H2>
John Smith<BR>
<H2>Ministers</H2>

will be interpreted as if the author had given:

<H2>Prime Minister</H2>
<P>John Smith<BR></P>
<H2>Ministers</H2>

Best wishes,
