Personally I'd prefer a clean HTML output by default. I don't like the BR
tags, and I don't think that the HTML export should try to replicate any
arbitrary spacing in the wiki text. The HTML would easily turn into a mess.

Most wiki engines and markdown processors ignore whitespace when rendering,
and have a specific tag/syntax for explicitly adding a blank line. Maybe
that's the way to go.
