I was wondering if my suspicion about what was going on was actually true. I
suspect that people still hit the enter key when they visually see that they
are at the end of the line, rather than letting a natural wrap take place. I
was getting two skipped lines.

The [l] code is a "conditional" end of line. It puts you on a new line if
you are not already on one. Multiple [l] codes are equivalent to a single
[l] unless there is anything between them. I have had blank lines appear
in my document because a space got between two of them.
The [<] code is an "unconditional" hard return, like what you get when you
hit Enter in a word processor. Each of these codes forces you to a new
line. two [<] codes in a row produce one blank line, just as [l][<] or
[l][sl1] or [sk1] would.
The [l] code is the proper delimiter for a linear style such as h1., para.,
etc. I have very little use for the [<] code, because it may cause a blank
line when the braille or print, at the current width, has just finished
filling a line with text.
Both of these codes return to a new line at the margin set by the [ind] or
[inm] code that is currently in effect.
Hope this helps.
