Comment (by azaozz):

 33377.3.diff looks good for now.

 Eventually in PHP we should do something similar to the JS -- remove line
 breaks after any <br>, replace remaining line breaks with <br>, add line
 breaks after all <br> to make it prettier.

 {{{
 $pee = preg_replace( '|(<br[^>]*>)\s*\n|i', '$1', $pee );
 $pee = preg_replace( '|\s*\n|', '<br />', $pee );
 $pee = preg_replace( '|(<br[^>]*>)|i', "$1\n", $pee );
 }}}

 This changes the behaviour so a bit reluctant to do it now, so close to
 release.
