  * summary:  Editor strips blank lines => Wpautop strips blank lines

Comment:

 The blank lines are stripped by wpautop(), both the js and php versions of
 it. This seems to be related to users complaining that they cannot enter
 <br /> tags in a post, but actually trying to produce invalid XHTML
 (which, of course, is auto-corrected).

 Perhaps wpautop should be changed to replace 3 consecutive <br /> with
 <p>&nbsp;</p>.
