I haven't tested it, but I would expect empty paragraphs NOT to  
render--at least in the more standards-compliant browsers (e.g.  
browsers such as Firefox, Safari, Opera and their variants). The HTML  
specification is very clear in this respect: "User agents should  
ignore empty P elements" [1]. I believe the same is true of the xhtml  
spec, but at the moment, I can't find any documentation to confirm it.
