> "A p element's end tag may be omitted... practically always except when it obviously makes no sense. If you mean <p>Hello</p><span>World</span>, you obviously can't omit </p>, since the inline <span> would become part of <p>. But why would you write that anyway? When you omit </p> where you shouldn't, the validator will usually tell you. You do validate your HTML, right?
