Mat, I must say I am finding the discussion a little overwhelming despite being a key proponent of this.

The missing piece is the ability to call any line not using another wikitext prefix like * or # or ; or : to be treated as a separate entity, that why responding to the first \n is so important. Having the facility to cause a \n\n to appear at the end of a line is a valid, but opposite need to what I see at the original need. The thing about paragraph tags is one or more empty paragraphs collapse into one blank line between each paragraph with text, so prefixing a set of lines with wiki text to cause a paragraph is a quick way to tidy up pasted content.
