*First line of a chapter or scene tight to left margin. Following paragraphs consistently indented.
*Line break (max two) between sections within a chapter. No other separation device necessary. That's the text designer's job.

I must respectfully disagree, Neil. A line break to indicate a scene change works absolutely fine in a printed book, but it doesn't work in an eBook. Suppose the scene break happens to fall at the end of the page; how will the reader know that the space he sees is a scene change and not the normal end of the page?
I think that some visual indication of a scene change (eg centred asterisks) is essential in an eBook, personally.
