My mother language has lots of one letter and two-letter elements (like a, or, ...) and it is considered a very unapropriate to leave those "hanging" at the end of the line. Even children are taught that. The problem is avoided when you replace all combinations of: Space A_letter Space with Space A_letter Non_breaking_space
My language version of Microsoft word does that automatically.
I am very surprised that InDesign does not have tool for automatically dealing with this.

Try it. I am looking forward to seeing results.
Citation from Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serif_font
----- quote -----
While in print serifed fonts are considered more readable, sans-serif is considered more legible on computer screens.[citation needed] For this reason the majority of web pages employ sans-serif type. Hinting information, anti-aliased and sub-pixel rendering technologies have partially mitigated the legibility problem of serif fonts, but the basic constraint of coarse screen resolution—typically 100 pixels per inch or less—continues to limit their readability on screen.

My *personal* preference is to have a little first line intent (three spaces) plus 110% or 120% space between paragraphs. Definitely not a full empty line between paragraphs. Screen real estate is too valuable for that.
