Hmmm... how does:

     <para> </para>

look like? How about:

     <programlisting>

     </programlisting>

?

If either of these work, then maybe we can probably keep the /n. Unless
someone else objects. In general, the idea behind DocBook is to
separate the formatting from the content, we're violating this with
this workaround. I'm not a purist, though ;-), but I'd have to say
that these are all ugly.

Does someone else have a better idea?
