David, your concern about visual spacing needs for sighted users is correct.

But we do that by programming extra white space with the styles in document programs (like Word) and with CSS in HTML. No need for a blank hard return when styles are used.
Faster and easier to format the document and more fully accessible across all media technologies, including assistive tech.
