Having a look at the examples in XEP-0071 it seems that:

   <p>Line 1</p><p>Line 2</p>

should be rendered as:

   Line 1

   Line 2

so I'd say there's nothing wrong with Psi's current implementation.

The XEP also mentions (8.9) that line breaks should be converted into
<br/>'s, so:

   <p>Line 1<br/>Line 2</p>

would be rendered as:

   Line 1
   Line 2

as the Frederik expected.
