Hi, Darren: It's a good idea to avoid surprises caused by the addition of space below/above consecutive paragraphs.
I'm not sure if you know that FrameMaker is nearly unique* in its method of inter-paragraph space settings. It's about "size matters." FrameMaker honors the larger of space below and space above to set the space between them. Almost all other text-creation tools combine the spaces. The additive method requires more thought about designing for many possible combinations of consecutive paragraph formats. *I believe that Ventura Publisher offers the option to work either larger one wins, or additive.
