    Fair enough; if we want to illustrate a point with a plain text example, then <artwork> seems appropriate. But I think we are talking about something else: cases where we *want* the text to stop here
    and continue on the next line, whatever output format (including HTML) we are using.

    It applies to PDF etc too.

    Ah, but a tool designer doesn't *need* to understand the context. If the author *wants* a line break, that's all we need to know.

    I'm a bit confused: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7991#section-2.12

And one of the things that is SUPPOSED to happen post publication is for real use to provide feedback on how to fix any glitches that were found trying to use it.

Well, we're trying to use it for real now.

Sandy, does the RPC feel that the ability to add a line break is needed? If so, I think the answer is clear on what to do.
