Thanks duck and wolf. I did pretty much what you guys suggested, but I used a little utility called Balthisar Tidy to clean up the html, then I used TextWrangler to find & replace patterns that included the s -- one pattern with , another pattern with . Balthisar Tidy was helpful in creating distinct patterns for one and the other.

FWIW, this is where I found Balthisar Tidy (free):

http://www.balthisar.com/products/tidy

I'm on a Mac. Better tools may exist for Windows.

... now if only I can remember what I did the next time I need to do it. (Set break-before-br to Yes, then replace a pattern including stuff BEFORE with and a pattern including stuff AFTER with . Replace " blankline " with " blankline " or something like that.)
