Dave, 
  The trouble is they have two different semantic meanings.  The first
example contains two paragraphs of text, the second contains one, with
for some reason a double line break.  

Just because with the default CSS your browser is using (or the override
you may have imported), they look the same doesn't mean you are getting
the same result.  The result is the XHTML, not how is looks once
rendered.  I would be tempted (putting the cat amongst the pigeons), to
say that XHTML doesn't look like anything.

Along the course of my coding, I come across two ways of achieving the
same result.

For example:

<div id=content">

<p class="text">
Example text 1
</p>

<p class="text">
Example text 2
</p>

</div>

-----------------------------

<div id=content">

<p class="text">
Example text 1

<br />
<br />

Example text 2
</p>

</div>

---------------------------

So is it a question of preference? On the one hand, the first example
seems more 'formed', but on a sizeable document it may create a larger
file (perhaps negligible).

I've a mix of both in my coding, and have decided to with one or the
other, and at least maintain continuity. Which?
