I feel for you being wrong on the Internet.

I agree that, pragmatically, the smart thing for e-reading systems is to treat <p> </p> as a section break, at least as an optional behaviour. It's just that you're using the word 'valid' a bit too loosely.

<p> </p> is not just used as a section break. I've seen it used not as a section break, but as as a separator such as...
<p>Some paragraph here</p>
<p> </p>
<p class="center">This line is centered</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Another paragraph here</p>
So yes, <p> </p> should be rendered. I know it's not the coding I would use, but a lot of eBooks have it. This is why I go in and check what the publisher has done.
