It can probably be argued that LaTeX merely agnostic of the issue, but
has a way to infer where \parskip\indent should go.  This distinction
may seem to be a too fine one to make, but as far as the formatting
machinery of TeX is concerned, it becomes all vmode and hmode boxes
anyway.

Importantly however, in the HTML4 document model paragraphs cannot
contain any blocklevel elements and that includes lists and paragraphs
themselves.  The visual result could be faked much in the same way that
LaTeX does by having two different classes for the <P> element, but this
adds another level of complexity that all export backends need to deal
with when the construct should be portable.
