Since newlines are supposedly ignored by HTML, I'd maybe do this:
1) replace <br( /)?> tags with something unusual, like the bell chr(7).
2) remove HTML
3) remove *all* newlines. Maybe with several replace() calls instead of
rereplace() -- efficiency tests may be required.
4) replace the bell with newlines
I'm not sure if that's *better*, but that's what I'd do.
