I think of a scenebreak as an empty header, rather than an empty paragraph. <h6 class="scenebreak"> rather than <p class="scenebreak">. In some books the scenes are numbered, or might have a title like "Meanwhile, on the other side of town ...", or a timestamp.
Simply adding a margin to the top of the first paragraph of a scene to indicate the break is a bad idea because that margin could be absorbed into the @page margin if the scene happens to begin at the top of a page, and if the reader has chosen to read ragged right then there may be no way to tell that there was a break at all.
