The reason that I had a need to discover how to do this is that on my standard layout of the title page of a book, the author's name is the last thing on the page and, because of the large font size used for the author's name, any "descenders" in the name (ie letters like "y" or "g") get "chopped off" unless you have a blank line beneath. Having "normal" blank lines doesn't work - BD strips them out if they're at the bottom of the page - but centred lines get preserved.
Man, that has been bugging me for a while as well. We should start a BookDesigner formatting quirks WiKi with all of these little tricks.
