To supplement the answers already given, as far as OSIS is concerned, the
reason that <lg><l> tags are suggested to not be used for line or page breaks
is that OSIS is a semantic language meaning you are tagging what something /is/
not how it looks. This I think is why <p> tags aren't having the desired effect
either. Unlike in HTML, <p> is specifically for delineating paragraphs
conceptually. An empty paragraph doesn't produce a blank line like in HTML.
That is a side effect of how block-level display tags are rendered in HTML not
because of something universal to <p>. As for why you want to mark things
semantically rather than presentationally, someday there might be a front-end
for visually impaired persons (for instance) that rather than displaying the
text reads it aloud.
