The main reason why most Wiki Syntaxes are ignoring single line breaks
and using a paragraph for double line breaks, if I remember well, is
because textareas would scroll if you typed your text on a single line
(see http://www.idocs.com/tags/forms/_TEXTAREA_WRAP.html ). Therefore to
make the text readable, you would type carriage return regularly, which
thanks to the wiki syntax would be ignored.

I agree that today all serious browsers wrap the text properly so this
is not usefull anymore and counter intuitive. Wysiwyg also renders that
unusefull. It's also not what people expect with their habits of Word
Processor.

What worried me is backwards compatibility and the way this would impact
pages including scripting if we change the behavior to include a <br />
We could at least make it an option of the wiki and maybe even an option
of the page.
