Is the definition I posted a few messages back unclear in some way?
In a nutshell, a paragraph is delimited by hard newlines (which could
be some sequence of characters such as CRLF, or something else,
depending on the platform, the application, and the context) or by a
special character u+2029 PARAGRAPH SEPARATOR.

Emacs does TRT with these two paragraphs.
