If it's supposed to be "The Readable Web", why does it eschew both
accepted conventions [1] for indicating the start of a new paragraph,

[1] Either additional vertical white space, or indentation, but almost
never both.

Technically, http://readableweb.com doesn't do quite that: it sets the margin bottom of paragraphs to 2px. I'm not saying that this is any better than setting it to zero. But this means that the style _also_ deviates, though just a little, from the third paragraph style, which was used to some extent in "Modernist" typography: no indentation, no spacing between paragraphs.
