<p> _is_ a block-level element, but not all block-level elements can contain
all other block-level elements.
From the DTD <http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd>:

That means <p> can contain only inline elements; <table> is a block-level
element (like <p>).
Why would you _want_ to put a <table> in a <p>?
