Ok, I've narrowed the nit down.  It's actually not with the <ul> or
<li> stuff (although in some cases a closing </li> *does* seem to make 
a difference, but in others it doesn't).  The problem actually seems
to be with my use of <br> tags.  Please observe the following brand
new document:

---------------------------

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN">
<html>
  <head>
    <title>test</title>
  </head>

  <body>
    <h1>test</h1>

    This is the first line
    <br>
      This is the second line

</html>

----------------------------

Now, granted, my knowledge of the HTML specs may be scanty (and I'm
not in a position to go check the actualy documents right now but I
will be soon), but I *believe* the <br> tag isn't supposed to be
considered a container and therefore shouldn't affect indention
level.  However, if I add a </br> to the above page, just after the
<br> tag, the line "This is the second line" will then indent properly 
with the TAB key.  However, adding a </br> adds ANOTHER line break in
which messes up my formatting.

If this is invalid HTML and there's a proper way to do this, I'm
perfectly willing to change my HTML style if someone will show me how
to accomplish it correctly.  If it's correct, however, I'd sure like
to know where to fix the above nit.
