This is the way the wiki generates blank lines.  There's no way to 
get the paragraph tags to work "correctly" because XHTML's idea of a 
paragraph is totally broken.  Indeed, it's difficult to define exactly
what is and is not "correct" about paragraphs from the markup.

See http://www.pmichaud.com/wiki/Development/BogusHtmlIsHardToStyle
for a bit better discussion of the problem.
