Absolutely.  I remember a friend of mine who is still in college was told
that it is now acceptable for term papers, etc., and other standard written
reports to use a skipped line to indicate a new paragraph as opposed to
indenting.  I know when I was in college some seven years ago that was
frowned on, and I have to suspect that the influence of the net in general
and the web in particular had a lot to do with that shift... ;-)
