PmWiki already has a context stack--that's how it manages
||-tables, lists, and paragraphs.  The context stack is handled
(however poorly it may be) by the EmitCode function.

And somehow I think that implementing open/close paragraph tags (<p>...</p>)
will be intimately tied to whatever choices end up being made regarding
line breaks, paragraphs and the other items in the discussion thread 
starting at

I think I need to summarize the points raised in the linebreaks discussion
first, and then I'll be ready to look at containerizing the <p> tags.
