Yeah, that's bad, but stuff like

This is a sentence with <div style="inline; color: blue;">blue</div>
text from someone who doesn't know about span.

will be rendered as

This is a sentence with
blue
text from someone who doesn't know about span.

instead of

This is a sentence with blue text from someone who doesn't know about
span.

I'm not sure what's worse, or what's more common.  Just leave it as is
now (with the ensure-newline stuff), and we'll see how things look...

Of course, we could start parsing the CSS, but then we'd have to have
something else that shr could stand for, because it wouldn't be "Simple
HTML Renderer" any more.  :-)

I took a stab at it for "color" in span, but I'm not particularly
satisfied with the result.  That is, somebody has <span color="blue">,
which renders the text totally unreadable for me, because I use a black
background.  So I was thinking about either backing that out again
or...  er...  well, I don't have an "or".  :-)
