It complies with the HTML 3.2 suggested standard (don't know about
4.0, but that's certainly acceptable behavior with 3.2). By careful
reading of that standard, it's possible to set up a document that will

As I read the standard, the <P> behavior is really, essentially
changing.

Out of list context.
Still out.
