Oh, so this is more about eliminating the vspace than creating new
paragraphs ...

So ... what's the problem with making something like %p% part of pmwiki?
As I read your #2, \-at-the-beginning-of-line is that markup except
you'd have to do the indent separately.

Consider this a vote in favor of creating a "paragraph" markup (using
any sane syntax) and a vote against making a leading % create a new
paragraph.
