1. <p>
The only reason one would want to use <p> is to avoid the effect two
newlines have of spawning a new paragraph, that is, to be able to
write something like:
I've used it in a few cases where a single bullet point needs to have
multiple paragraphs. (Yes, this really does happen sometimes.)
There's no other way to do this in wikicode.
Well, that's not really an argument to keep <p>, but rather an argument
to extend the list syntax so you don't need the <p>.
I've always thought this was a bit of a stupid limitation of the list
syntax. I would extend it to allow blocks:
* First list item
**{ This list item allows several paragraphs.
I think this syntax can be very useful. -- ~~~~
