RE: xhtml and the p tag

xhtml p tag
Mark,

	This has not changed from HTML 4.0. All of your paragraphs in XHTML
documents should be enclosed with <p>...</p>
element delimiters. Since the <p> element is itself a block level element,
it cannot itself contain any block level elements.
The construction <p/> has to my knowledge never been acceptable markup in
either HTML or XHTML documents.

Regards,

D-

(speaking for myself, rather than any working group or corporation)
