My question was misquoted.  I was asking about this:

    if (failed) {

      ...

    } else {

      ...

    }

where there is a blank line after the "if()" line, both before
and after the "} else {" line, and before the line with the final
closing brace.

This layout has as much vertical separation as the layout style
you prefer (and one more blank line at the end).  Do you think it
is just as readable as your preferred layout?  Or is it something
besides the vertical spacing that bears on your "more readable"
judgment?
