Indentation doesn't have anything to do with whether the margins are
justified or not: INDENT=somedimension should be a separate attribute.

When you say "full paragraph break inherent in a <p> or <h?>" are you
referring to vertical space between paragraphs? Or do you mean
something like TeX's \hfill\break which stops the line short and starts
a new one, but without starting a new para (so if indentation is turned
on, there is no indentation on the new line thus created)?
Are you suggesting something like this paragraph, where the <align>
occurs in mid-para around some text shorter than 1 line
like this
(if it had a role=center)? This sounds like a very sensible solution,
but I think it needs to be made clear if this is a mid-para-only object
or whether it can substitute for a <p> in its entirety.
