Philipp:
| Summary: no end tag required but discouraged for additional
| white space (empty paragraph).
The end tag is _not_ discouraged. It is not _necessary_. The extra space
you get in Netscape when you have both start and end tags on P elements is
due to a serious bug in that browser.
What the specification says is that the following examples all should be
rendered as the same:
----------------------
<P>
Something.
</P>
<P>
More.
----------------------
<P>
Something.
<P>
More.
----------------------
<P>
Something.
</P>
<P>
<P>
More.
----------------------
The special, and much discussed, rule that makes the third example
equivalent to the first two is that "empty paragraphs should be ignored".
Greetings,
Jacob
