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. <br>
