Take Liam's example:

<p></p><p>foo</p></p>

Parse it...

<p></p>
	=> OK, paragraph opened and closed, we're done with that one
<p>foo</p>
	=> OK, paragraph opened and closed, we're done with that one
</p>
	=> uh? what's that, closing a paragraph that doesn't exist?

So eventhough you think the <p> and </p> are balanced, if you add the 
implied closing tags, they're not.
