Yes, it's rubbish and only for typewriters.
Similarly ANY other directly typed white space such as spaces or tabs is evil.
All decent wordprocessors allow paragraph styles:
Left margin
Right margin
First line indent
Top margin
Bottom margin
Padding separate all four sides or common
Outline per side or all and kind of it (curved corners might not work)
Orphans
Widows
Keep with next paragraph
Insert page break before
Set a heading level
List format (not all options work in conversion)
kind of layout (left, right, centred)
LtoR vs RtoL
Registered (for paper so lines on the other side line up)
Line Height (only use for PDFs)
Font stuff (face, family, size, spacing)
Etc. Any decent docx to epub will map all these to CSS 1:1, perfectly.
Too many people are using wod processors like glass typewriters.
