Contexts in which element p may be used: Where flow content is expected. Content model for element dt: Phrasing content." ** Expected results: The HTML5 validator should not complain about <p> elements nested inside <dt> as the content model per specification permits it. ** Additional information: When checking the content model for the dt element at http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#the-dt-element, it clearly states that the content model is flow content, and does not forbid flow content descendants. Hence, the inclusion of a <p> element inside <dt> should be valid according to the specification. 58744 1 mike 2011-10-24 12:05:05 +0000 That change was made to the HTML spec just a few days ago. http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=13201 http://html5.org/r/6618 I've filed a bug for this in the validator.nu bug tracker and will try to have a fix for this checked in to the validator.nu sources within the next few days. Feel free to add yourself to the Cc field there: http://bugzilla.validator.nu/show_bug.cgi?id=868 After I get the fix made, I'll push it out to the HTML5 backend for the W3C validator.
