Well...FWIW, when I was making mobis back in the day (as the kids say), I think I used separate HTML files. {shrug}. OTOH, I only made mobis, sans any ePUBs, for a short period of time, so I could be mis-remembering. I do remember the infamous mbpagebreak coding, so I'm possibly lying.

The problem with "real top-margin support" is simply that: top-margin from what, exactly, when you have one big file? The lack of top-margin support for mobi (of all kinds) when working in a single file is legendary. I'm not sure I even remember what we used to do to fake top-margins, sans separate files. Diap, do you remember? Or you, Great Mouse?

And won't K8 ignore those empty paras? If not given some type of element, even an nbsp?
