Currently the conforming alternative form replaces <p> + <br> with individual
<p> elements:

<p><label>Name: <input name="name"></label></p>
<p><label>Address: <input name="address"></label></p>

For me this seems a non-conforming use of <p> :-) It’s generally considered
best practice is to use a list for forms, so I suggest changing to:

<li><label>Name: <input name="name"></label></li>
<li><label>Address: <input name="address"></label></li>

You could wrap this in <ol>, but <p> in non-conforming to <li> in conforming is
a good enough hint that another element may be more suitable.
