I don't see any way to address problem 2 in a way that will be consistent.
Perhaps there isn't. I thought possibly a different tagging system was used by the programs that create all the extra spaces between paragraphs. Something like the difference between <p> and <br>. (Or, as I often see now, <br />, though I don't know what the difference is between that and <br>.) Or maybe something more subtle. If that were the case, I thought reasonable guesses might be made that would remove the one but not the other. I didn't really think it was possible to achieve perfection, but then, what we have now isn't perfection, either.

Personally, I would find it useful if the program could do what I said above, and select on the basis of centered text--while knowing that it wouldn't get it right all the time.

In any case, I quite agree that there ought to be an option to simply leave blank line spaces alone. And that does seem a much easier problem.
