you can experiment with this in cont-new.mkiv:

\unprotect

\def\spac_lines_empty[#1]%
   {\endgraf
    \begingroup
    \forgetall
    \scratchcounter\iffirstargument#1\else3\fi\relax
    \ifhmode
       \crlf
       \advance\scratchcounter\minusone
    \fi
    \dorecurse\scratchcounter{\strut\crlf}%
    \endgroup}

\protect
