And it certainly does look like they plan to replace br, but how do they expect it to be backwards compatable in older browsers then, I wonder? Wouldn't the poem done with <l></l> look like a big chunk of text then? Not to start off another "Version 4 browsers are going to be dead" debate. ;-) It's just curious. And I'm not panicking at this point, as it appears XHTML 2 is a ways from being hammered out. As far as it goes, the <l> looks like a good idea, but I'm not sure how quickly we're going to see a change over to it. To save anyone else from hunting it down, here's the link where I found it explained: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml2/mod-text.html#sec_8.10.
