I'd like to question these restricions. I think that at the very

that MSIE (I tested version 6 and 7) accept TABLE in P, regardless of
whether it is in Quirks-Mode or in Standards-Mode. Even
Firefox-Opera-Safari (FirOpSa) allow TABLE inside P - allthough they
only do so when in Quirks-Mode.
When would it ever make sense to do this though? Surely you would never
want to put a table inside a paragraph, because tables and paragraphs
are two totally different things.
What does this mean? IMHO the criterion needs to be: do printed works
ever place tables inside paragraphs? I don't know the case for tables;
but I know paragraphs regularly include block quotations.
I also can’t see why you would put a
paragraph inside a paragraph—surely it should either just be one
paragraph, or be two completely separate paragraphs.
Directly nested? No reason. But indirectly nested you often need
paragraphs in a quotation.
