I am guessing the OP's question was really meant to be
AbiWord specific and tightly related to the following
reasonable question: how can I ask AbiWord to import
blank-line separated text paragraphs as AbiWord paragraphs?

This is a very reasonable request because blank-line
separated paragraphs are a very common text format
and implementation of this import option is presumably
trivial. Suggesting preprocessing options is of course
helpful on a case by case basis, but what is really needed
is AbiWord recognition of a common format.

Closely related: it would be nice if AbiWord would import
(and export!) reStructuredText.
