Where I see this most frequently is with MS Word documents and emails. The "blank" actually makes it easier to tell where a paragraph ends when editing or reading these documents. Most html and pdf tools will easily eliminate the empty paragraphs when converting the documents. A much bigger problem is improperly set up tables and missing headings.
I agree that there is really no reason to leave empty elements in html, especially since the can be quickly removed with any development tool worth using.

Oh, I'm getting it now. So it's not for when we typesomething.
Voiceover doesn't say anything. It just goes to the next paragraph.
But I wouldn't care if it did. Seriously, what's the big deal?
