The main use of <p> in current (X)HTML practice is to denote paragraphs, not to style them. <Is there somewhere a representative set of current (X)HTML pages that could be used to make such a determination of how often the <p> element is used for reasons in addition to breaking text up into paragraphs?> I don't understand why there needs to be another reason. A paragraph is a structural element, not a presentational one. A paragraph is supposed to be a distinct section of a piece of writing and a paragraph break is supposed to denote either then end of a thought/idea or the end of a particular speaker.
