   Definitely not wrong. I guess it is a matter of religion. 
   
   I tend to agree with [Stephen 
Colebourne](http://blog.joda.org/2012/11/javadoc-coding-standards.html)  :
   
   > **Use simple HTML tags, not valid XHTML**
   > 
   > Javadoc uses HTML tags to identify paragraphs and other elements. Many 
developers get drawn to 
   > the thought that XHTML is necessarily best, ensuring that all tags open 
and close correctly. This is a 
   > mistake. XHTML adds many extra tags that make the Javadoc harder to read 
as source code. The 
   > Javadoc parser will interpret the incomplete HTML tag soup just fine. 
   
   and as far as I can tell the official advice from Oracle is (still) also to 
use a single `<p>`, even in JDK8 and JDK9.
   
   Personally, I would say just pick a style and stay with it and it this sense 
this PR was different from the rest of the html4j code base. Not important, 
just a comment.
   Looking forward to more html4j releases !  :-)
