You are both correct.
By themselves, blank lines at the top and bottom of pages are completely
optional. However, the same blank lines become very important when
delimiting page numbers in running page headers and footers. Here is how
it works:
If the book has page numbers at the top of pages -- usually in what is
called a running header -- the page number should appear all by itself on
the top line (line 1) of the page and should be left justified. The page
number should be immediately followed by a blank line. The repeating part
of any page header -- usually the name of the author or the title of the
book -- should be completely deleted including any related spaces or tabs.
If the book has page numbers at the bottom of pages -- usually in what is
called a running footer -- the page number should appear all by itself on
the very bottom line of the page and should be left justified. The page
number should be immediately preceeded by a blank line. The repeating
part of any page header -- usually the name of the author or the title of
the book -- should be deleted, including any spaces or tabs.
I hope this helps.

How does this no needing of blank lines match up with the need to put
in blank lines around page breaks and page numbers so that the
stripper does not remove said page numbers. If I am confused I can
only imagine how new validators feel. (sigh no grin)
