Clean up crappy input, of course.

Convert perfectly-valid NEWLINE into a tag <BR>  for browser output, no.

The conversion of the data for OUTPUT to a specific medium (browser,
RSS, XML, WAP, FUTURE TECH #1*) should be done on OUTPUT, not INPUT.

Othewise, to convert your input plain ->  HTML data to WAP, you first
have to UNDO the plain ->  HTML conversion, then do a plain -> WAP
conversion.

That's just daft.
