David, no problem. I have to agree that there are a large number of stylistic themes people will want to apply. End paragraphs are one. It would be nice (and very book-like) to specify an end of paragraph marker in the stylesheet without having to place another element in HTML. You example is complex enough to require sub-classes for presentation alone, which does confuse the issue a bit. We can get to a initial para and end para and normal para without stretching the idea of "extending" the HTML elements. But for styles not really related to content like your two following paragraphs (unless they have some special meaning) some other method may be necessary. Id would be a correct way, but very tedious to mark each paragraph. Not to mention wasting space, so people will use a subclass for presentation. Maybe a pattern pseudo classes will solve it. There are so many limitations as things are. It can be hard to retain the sense of markup and still present things the way you want. I had to resort to H1 and H2 for two parts of a title to get margin-top to work properly. Not sure what lynx readers will think of that. Then again maybe it does make sense.
