This is actually an excellent solution! I just implemented it and get good
results. JPluck now starts a new paragraph (with line spacing 0) whenever it
encounters an anchor. If the anchor is followed by a paragraph or heading
then the paragraph spacing is adjusted accordingly.

Anchors in pages like this one http://members.aol.com/pocketpress/ (bug
report #420) now work correctly. This page relies on <br> to achieve
spacing.

Anchors occurring in the middle of a line are indeed pretty rare, and since
text lines are small on a handheld screen anyway it isn't very serious in
the event that they do.

In this context it's more useful to think of a Paragraph as a "text
block"(which is what it really is).
