It doesn't matter, since the <p> tag only introduces a paragraph _break_. Adding it where it really doesn't have to be just introduces some information into your document that is redundant, but nontheless might clarify things for the writer (or the reader). Browsers should be able to parse any use of the <p> tag. When describing this in a markup tag style guide, you might say that the entire text is assumed one large paragraph of body text (brxdtekst), unless marked otherwise or broken by <p> - paragraph delimiters. Personally, I sometimes use <p> </p>, sometimes only <p>. Being inconsistent in this way is probably the worst thing of all... :) -- Torgeir @ http://www.ii.uib.no/~torgeir/ - this summer @ http://www.nr.no/home/veimo/
