So here's how it might work: within a line, "\" gets replaced by a BREAK element inline, so it can be used anywhere (inside headings, tables, etc.). When on a line all by itself, a BREAK element is added to the currently-open block-level element, which then remains open. Any totally blank line closes the element (as it does now).
So,
# first
# second
will produce
first
second
just as it does now.
I still haven't seen an article where this makes any sense.
But
# first \ # second
will produce
first
second
It's just a bit less ugly than
# first <br><br> # second
But I do agree that we need something to replace the <br> tags, because they are needed in some rare cases (but are overused - at least in the German Wikipedia - in normal article text).
I appreciate efforts in making things cleaner and more standardized, but I think that it's more important to keep editing simple and intuitive.
