When you use an excerpt macro and set it to 'block' (not 'inline') then it fails to render within a paragraph. This causes inconsistency in the displayed page.
e.g.
.
The rendered markup for the screenshot is:
<h1 id="id--Aheading">A heading</h1> This is an excerpt after a heading <h1 id="id--Asecondheading">A second heading</h1> <p>This is standard paragraph text.</p> This second paragraph is in an excerpt macro. <p>Third paragraph is standard.</p> <p>And so is the fourth.</p>

[CONFSERVER-25878] The excerpt macro when used in "block" mode should render surrounding paragraph (<p>) tags

added a comment - Darryl, IMHO atlassian made confluence HTML5 too early without correcting the markup, but keep changing symantic markup with each release which as a plugin and theme developer has been nightmarish. The amount of post processing JavaScript to correct markup I have is increasing.
We happen to also use RefinedWiki which just makes our problem 100x worse and becomes a nightmare for me with each new release of confluence. Early 5.x upgrades were a dark time.

In fairness to the Confluence team, this is a bug that's been lurking for years... just not high on the priority list, with all of four votes now.
Our theming add-ons depend heavily on the quality of the HTML output by Confluence, and while not perfect, we've watched that quality go up dramatically and consistently over the past years. So I have to respectfully disagree with your assessment of the trend

added a comment - I'm hoping that Atlassian pick this one up soon. Considering confluence is HTML5, yet this macro generates illegal markup should be treated a little more highly. The fancier I see confluence get, the worse the markup seems to get.

The fancier I see confluence get, the worse the markup seems to get. This issue also affects Theme Press (and any other styling/theming plugin that cares about fonts and paragraph spacing). I just verified that it's still an issue in 5.6.5.

added a comment - I would love to see this fixed. This is also affects the Multiexcerpt Plugin (https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/biz.artemissoftware.confluence.multiexcerpt.MultiExcerptMacro).
When you put two excerpts starting with a paragraph next to each other and make an HTML export of the page, the two paragraphs will be merged into one...
