By this, you mean spacing between paragraphs as opposed to text-indent and no spacing? I tend to agree with you, as I stated, but this comes down to personal preference. It may look awkward to you and me, but it won't break an epub if done properly. Some people prefer it, and you'll also occasionally see it in paper books.

This also borders on personal preference, some people like a bit of space around the body text. I think it's best left as default. Since it's still a bad practice IMO (depending on the value of "huge"), I'll include it. Thanks!
