@Hitch, Long time ago I saw instances of upper-case 'I' always breaking to a new paragraph. I can't be certain but I think it only happened if the 'I' followed punctuation i.e. .,!? then whitespace, but maybe not dialogue quotes then whitespace.

The source was newspaper and magazine articles, circa late 1980's early 90's, scanned for reading on Palm Pilots - PQA? We fixed them with sed, awk, etc

Squarks that's about 30 years ago!
