Ok. Let me try to clarify.
The reason why we are asked to put in empty lines at the top and bottom of
the page is because of the HTML formatting when the DAISY file is converted
from the DAISY file. It was discovered that the lack of page breaks in HTML
files force page numbers either at the top or bottom are joined to the text,
making it impossible to distinguish page number in HTML files. When putting
a blank line at the top or bottom of the file, you will find that the page
number is placed on a separate line in an HTML file. So, while it may not
be absolutely required to place blank lines at the top or bottom of the
page, you are highly encouraged to put them in.

Hi Christine,
You really shouldn't have to worry too much about the blank lines at
the end, but the behavior may indicate a more serious problem. If
you're adding a blank line at the bottom of the page, and it's
appearing at the top of the next page, you should certainly verify
that the book has hard page breaks. If you are inadvertently
exceeding the number of lines, as set forth by the margin and page
length settings, than it would cause the software to issue a soft
page break and consequently the next page would be blank if there are
hard breaks present. My initial guess would be that you're dealing
with soft page breaks and it is just pushing the blank line onto the next
page.
