+1 to Peter's suggestion to add classes to these headers, or to generate
<h1> <h2> <h3> etc based on the semantics of the OSIS source titles and not
to just generate <h3> for all types. Through CSS an <h1> can be rendered
down to 6pt font, non-bold with italics while an <h5> is scaled up
arbitrarily big.

I think these breaks and the ones following the <ul> are the wrong way to
go. Since <ul> is, by default, a block element that already begins and ends
on its own lines, the proper way to render desired vertical spacing is to
add a class with margin-top and margin-bottom specified.
