And, according to the W3 organization, THE organizational body of HTML specifications:<br /> <br /> <div class="quotetext" id="quote"><b>quote: </b></div><div class="quote">We discourage authors from using empty P elements. User agents should ignore empty P elements.<br /> <br /> 9.3.2 Controlling line breaks<br /> <br /> A line break is defined to be a carriage return (), a line feed (
