Hi all,

(Catching up on the traffic, so a bit late to the thread.)

I don't use org's export facilities, so I am not sure how and where to object this into org's export process. But, the LaTeX way is to use the parskip package.

Please do reconsider, though. Just about every book on my shelves follows what you label a 'strange style,' for the good reason that the style you favour can result in ambiguity. (A paragraph that ends a page, takes up the entire last line and is followed by a new paragraph cannot be distinguished from a paragraph that spans the page break.)

Best,
