Not really. It may reduce legibility of the source code (though I'd say that
properly used it can actually increase it), but source beauty is not required
by the W3C - just well-formedness and other such constraints, and from that
point of view </p><p> is perfectly fine HTML code.

It's a bit weird that this </p><p> construct is not handled properly by wiki; in
fact, it was not uncommon as a replacement for the old-style (not well-formed)
single <p> for paragraph dividers during the days of transition.
