[wp-hackers] wpautop should first check if p tags, and if so, don't autop

[Sam Bauers]

I've just finished writing a routine with similar functionality to  
wpautop(). It deals with this specific problem quite elegantly. e.g.

<p class="something">
One

Two

Three
</p>

Becomes:

<p class="something">
One
</p>

<p class="something">
Two
</p>

<p class="something">
Three
</p>

I was considering wrapping it up into a little proof of concept  
plugin for WordPress so it could be assessed as a potential  
replacement. But the final formatting is slightly different (dare I  
say cleaner), so the functions that reverse the process would also  
have to be adapted. Plus, from memory WordPress has a Javascript  
version of wpautop() as well, and I'm not sure how I would replicate  
that functionality.
