Oh, that was the pdf output.

The xml shows:
    <PolicyMktgName>This is the first paragraph.&#xD;This is the second 
paragraph.</PolicyMktgName>

and the fo.xml show:
    <fo:block>
    Product: UL32768-NY
    Â This is the first paragraph.&#13;This is the second paragraph.</fo:block>

so I guess I'd say it really is a carriage return and not
just whitespace.
