so having this trailing at end of each chapter is redundant and can also generate spurious blank pages, depending on how the reader apps deal with an empty div.

i'd class it as redundant, like you do un-needed spans, and strip it because it is clutter that has no effect on how the epub is rendered.

I am pretty sure I have also seen it in some epubs that have not been generated/processed by calibre
CAUTION That code can also exist MID file. (probably from the I want only 1 file crowd)
