With, as I understand it, <non-space><cr> as the paragraph delineator that strikes me as more natural. If I wanted to go with the 'a' option should I put that in my .vimrc? Right now I think I would want it to apply only to 'org' files.

It is not. That would be helpful--if it was nonobtrusive. Is that addressed in the documentation?
