As per the HTML 4.01 spec, this is disallowed, which is what many expect, but in this section no rules regarding nesting are specified (apart from p both being flow content and allowed to contain flow content). If the intention is that p elements should be allowed to nest, this should be stated explicitly as it differs from HTML 4.01 behaviour, and if that is not the case, it should also be stated explicitly to avoid confusion. See e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6666137/why-is-firebug-auto-inserting-p/ for an example of the confusion that ensues. 50940 1 bzbarsky 2011-07-12 15:31:15 +0000 > apart from p both being flow content and allowed to contain flow content http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/grouping-content.html#the-p-element says that <p> contains phrasing content, not flow content. What am I missing? 50941 2 Sigurdhsson 2011-07-12 15:37:08 +0000 You're right, Boris. It might just be that the spec is hard to read — it's not immediately obvious to me that "Content model" means "element may contain this content". 50942 3 bzbarsky 2011-07-12 15:40:08 +0000 It would probably help if that term linked to http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/content-models.html#content-models where the first sentence is pretty clear.... 50951 4 ayg 2011-07-12 22:41:00 +0000 The spec is correct. See comment 1.
