I for one feel that an empty HTML comment looks slightly less "ugly" 
than the text "  " in the Markdown text. But as I said, it's a 
matter of taste. :)

Apart from that, I just compared the two methods and I noticed that this...

     > quote text

 

     > quote text

... for some reason creates a *larger* break between the quote parts 
than this:

     > quote text

<!-- -->

     > quote text

At least using Thunderbird with MarkdownHere, I haven't tried other ways 
yet.

The "comment method" is more what I expected, but it's good to know that 
a non-breaking space creates a slightly different output, should I ever 
need it.
