Actually, as John said, empty sentences are allowed after a sentence:

paragraph_10            :  statement_11
                        |  fragment_20
                        |  paragraph_10  I_819  statement_11
                        |  paragraph_10  I_819  fragment_20
                        |  paragraph_10  I_819

The official parser has no problem with {broda i i i brode}.
What is not allowed, however, is this: {ni'o i broda}.
That's odd, because if empty sentences are allowed, there
is no good reason to make an exception at the beginning
of a paragraph.
