What about things like poetry, where you want definite line breaks,
but you want a unitary block of text, not a list nor a set of
paragraphs?  I suppose a {{{ }}} block would do just fine, if the
poets don't mind their work looking like a typescript.

I suppose in such a case (unless there's a nice non-[[BR]] way to do
it that I don't know) it would make sense to have a ReadmeFirst page
in the hypothetical poetry wiki, telling poets with no web savvy to
use [[BR]] for their verses.

Cheers,
 Allister
