Empty paragraph elements in *.xhp files

[Regina Henschel]

Hi all,

I notice some empty paragraph elements in *.xhp files. For example in 
/help/helpcontent2/source/text/scalc/01/04060116.xhp the lines (55+56)
<paragraph xml-lang="en-US" id="par_id3145074" role="paragraph" l10n="E" 
oldref="166" localize="false"/>

Does anyone know, whether such line has a special purpose?

I want to delete that line, because it prevents the section "imabs" to 
be sorted into the right place.

Kind regards
Regina
