Well, the idea would be that paragraph-join might eat the "moral
equivalent of whitespace, both horizontal and vertical" in the current
mode.  Eg, as Stefan describes in Lisp mode, paragraph-join at `-!-'
would DTRT:

;; This is a comment.
;; -!-
;; This is a closely related comment.

In something like html-mode, it might go so far as to eat "</p><p>",
which I would find highly objectionable if `just-one-space' did it.
It could (maybe) eat ^L too, something else that I would definitely be
upset if `just-one-space' did it.
