I know half of you will start flaming for using Indesign for setting up the foundation of an ePub so if that is you please exit this thread, for the others....
What could possibly be the reason for removing this? How is one suppose to acheive a blank space between paragraphs now? Go in to the html and manually add one in at every single spot where you would like a black space between paragraphs or headings? What a pain. CS5 was like that, then they allowed the carriage returns to add the nbsp in CS6 and now they take it away. What a pain in the neck.
