I just realized the problem is only when the insertion point is in a 
context in which <p> is allowed--if you're in a <p> then the normal 
"split x" option is the first item.

But this is still a problem because the "split x" behavior continues to 
reinforce the enter-enter behavior.

This issue may be more pronounced for me in my current case where I'm 
creating a more or less narrative document consisting of nested topics, 
so I creating a number of new topics, meaning new, empty topic bodies, 
where I still expect enter-enter to always give me a paragraph. But it 
will also occur when you're switching from a non-p element to p, such as 
creating a list and then creating paragraphs following the list.

Cheers,

E.
