Why shouldn't I use CSS to increase padding or margins to get the same effect?
Although you may get the same visual effect, the user is given no information that a change in context has occurred. CSS class names carry no semantic meaning.
Print-first workflow tools often use this CSS technique to indicate context changes when exporting, but it is inherently inaccessible.

I was a little confused over that too...but I think they are referring to using margins this way:
Code:
.SecBrk {margin-top:2em}
<p>Para before the break/</p>
<p class="SecBrk">Para at the break.</p>
<p>Para after the break.</p>
I don't think they were trying to justify the empty paragraphs. (at least that's the way I choose to interpret it to preserve my sense of a well ordered world!
