No <p>, many <br>… Do we actually want to support pages like this? If so, do we actually want to spend time inventing some universal way of detecting super edge cases like this one? And if so, any idea how to achieve that? @gijsk @leibovic

I don't think we should worry a lot about craigslist.com right now; that's not the type of long-form text which I think is the main target of reader mode.
