No. If you can't figure out how to handle a UNIX-formatted text file, you shouldn't be manually tinkering with EPUBs at that nuts-and-bolts level anyway. Note that davidfor had little, if any, trouble with that issue.

It does that by design in certain cases, and it removes those empty lines in certain other cases. From memory, headers, paragraphs, and lists get a blank line after them. I wavered a bit on whether to treat DIV the same way, but decided not to, since it's also used in more generic ways. In addition, BR, BODY, DIV, and a few other tags get single line breaks after them.
