Well, that won't (or at least shouldn't) happen here, since <h1>, <h6>,
<ul>, etc. can never legally appear inside of a <p> tag (and PmWiki doesn't
generate them).  I suppose someone could generate a Markup() somehow 
that inserts a </p> prior to another block markup tag, but if that's 
the case they should be using <:block> to completely avoid the <p> 
tag in the first place, in which case the firstcap rule doesn't get
activated anyway.

At any rate, following PmWikiPhilosophy #3 I propose the simple,
straightforward solution first and save anything more complex for when
we actually need it and know the problem better.
