ParagraphFormat is not XHTML Safe
I just noticed that the ParagraphFormat tag is not XHTML safe. It inserts unclosed <P> tags for line breaks. I posted a comment on the live docs about this, so hopefully they will add an optional argument to have it generate XHTML output. Here's a function you can use in the meantime:
<cffunction name="XHTMLParagraphFormat" returntype="string" output="false"> <cfargument name="str" required="true" type="string"> <cfreturn REReplace(arguments.str, "\r+\n\r+\n", "<br /><br />", "ALL")> </cffunction>

There's also an XHTMLParagraphFormat UDF on CFLib.org.

There is a cflib function for this too. :)

The function on cflib is not exactly ideal. It will convert blank lines into empty <p></p> tags which is not exactly correct.
I changed the code from a replace to a reReplaceNoCase with the following regexp to do the right thing (from a semantic XHTML point of view):
reReplaceNoCase(string, "(#Chr(13)##Chr(10)#)+", ...)
