In my experience, ^L is generally used in Emacs for logical pages, not for
physical pages, so a ^L in the middle of a paragraph doesn't make
much sense.
I guess if you see such a ^L it's inside something like an RFC, where the
two pages are separated not just by ^L but also by footer&header so it'd be
hard for Emacs to figure out what's a paragraph.
Could you give more info about the precise case(s) where you bumped into ^L
in the middle of paragraphs?
Stefan
