Is this goal compatible with <blockquote>, <pre>, <ol>, <ul>, and  
<dl> being structured inline-level elements? Let's take this valid  
snippet of HTML 4:

     <p>Some text <ul><li>List item</li></ul>

According to HTML 4 parsers, I believe the DOM will be:

     P
       #text: Some text
     UL
       LI
         #text: List item

But in HTML 5, where the list can be part of a paragraph, shouldn't  
the list be put inside the paragraph? Giving this DOM:

     P
       #text: Some text
       UL
         LI
           #text: List item

Or should the list be put inside the paragraph only when you have an  
explicit closing <p> tag following the list (so that it becomes  
invalid HTML 4):

     <p>Some text <ul><li>List item</li></ul></p>

?
