surplus <p> tags.

[Sherwood Botsford]

I've run into a problem with multimarkdown, and would like advice:  From
Fletcher's doc:

prefer the <p> tags in place. Let me know if this is a problem.

  1. <p><div></p> causes W3C's xhtml checker to whine.  All non-ancientbrowsers
do the right thing, so I can ignore it. 2.  The combination of<p><img ....

></p>  and the CSS code snippet p {   text-indent: 1em;  } causes the IMAGE

to be indented 1 em.  (presumably since it's in thefirst line of text.) This
also adds an extra em of leading space to my headlings -- that I can live
with.  This is solveable by putting an additional css snippet in
p img {
  margin-left: -1em;
 }
(img doesn't know about text-indent.
This is a hack, and makes for the potential of ugly side effects when
modifying the css code --
something already filled with surprises.
The ideal solution from my perspective is two modifications of MMD that I
can't figure out how to do:
1.  Remove the extra <p> tagging.
2.  Specify automatically that structural tags get passed through unchanged.
(Structural tags = div, body, html, and those tags that lurk in the head.
