It would be a welcome improvement, but frankly, I have learned to live with the... well... peculiar way the perlmonks site works and don't mind it much anymore. Accepting literal line breaks in posts instead of br and p tags would be much higher on my ui priority list than better reply hide/show, as would dozens of other changes.
To be honest, some improvements in uptime and loading speeds would be even more welcome. Perlmonks is by far the slowest-loading website I have ever used, which is quite remarkable given that it's a text-only site with absolutely minuscule amounts of data per page. It also seems to be down a lot, too, but that impression may just be caused by loading times over a minute... after waiting 30 seconds or so for a text page to load, I tend to lose my patience and close the tab.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
