Hi,

I've "googled" without results for the following question why is
necessary to place select elements in a <div> or other block level
element in order to validate as XHMTL 1.1?

Because *all* inline elements must be inside a *block* level element,
and that includes *all* inline elements within a form. You always have
to do:

<form>
<block level>
... inlines ...
</block>
</form>

Or you can do:

<form>
<block>
...inlines...
</block>
<block>
...more inlines...
</block>
</form>

I don't have a philosophical answer as to why, but that's the rule.
