xhtml and the p tag

[Frank Boumphrey]

Hi,
The following is an extract from the strict4.0 DTD

In HTML 4.0 a paragraph can only contain an inline element, just the same as
in XHTML

<!ELEMENT P - O (%inline;)*            -- paragraph -->
<!ATTLIST P
  %attrs;                              -- %coreattrs, %i18n, %events --
  >

Frank (speaking for myself)
