 HTML markup on a single line wrapped in a block element is interpreted and
 changed by wpautop. The wpautop function is described as replacing "double
 line-breaks with paragraph elements" which led me to expect the single
 line would not become many lines.

 {{{
 echo wpautop( '<div><p>Hello world</p><span>WordPress</span></div>' );
 }}}

 {{{
 <div>
 <p>Hello world</p>
 <p><span>WordPress</span></div>
 }}}

 Extra <p> before the <span>.

 I expected wpautop would find no newlines and return the original string.

 The same string placed inside a HTML5 or XHTML 1 Strict document <body> is
 parsed as valid by W3C Validator.

 Plugins acting on the_content with a priority less than 10 may have their
 single-line markup reinterpreted by wpautop.
