Speaking from the top of my head... A </p> or <br /> is likely to be
defined as whitespace. However even a "." can be enough

With a screen reader you don't know how it is going to handle
"whitespace" .... is it going to pause? Is it going to run together?

I found this directive to be a pain at first... but now I've just gotten
into the habit of phrasing things differently ... usually not a problem
