I understood that this is your focus. And it's IMHO a good idea to
separate things and solve one at a time.

For export formats, there could be (yet another) "signal" to convey
"new paragraph here" which then is the exporter's job. Perhaps an
empty line (as is traditional in TeX) or something else.

But that's another building site :)
