I'm not sure if it
easier to define a specific style for every paragraph. It certainly makes the code more bloated.

Which devices are you referring to that would require an explicit class for each paragraph? I certainly am not familiar with all the devices out there, but it seems to me that if a device respects the css of a paragraph class, it would respect the css rules in general. No???

I actually agree with the "too much space in the chapter title" looks bad on a screen opinion as well...but it is still an opinion. I've seen plenty of books that have very attractive chapter heads. If that is the choice of the publisher...and the author likes it... then, OK. It doesn't take away from my enjoyment of the book. It's just not something I would do.
