As was pointed out elsewhere on this thread (list?), existing UAs would implicitly close any outer block elements upon encountering a nested block element. So the example above would be treated as: <p>...</p> <ul>...</ul> <p>...</p> Or similar. WF2/HTML5 UAs wouldn't do this, of course. If a CSS author for example specified padding for both the P and the UL elements, then wouldn't the results would be different depending on the UA's support for WF2/HTML5? Depending on how the legacy browser works, it might not be possible to work around this problem using child/descendent selectors. Mike. -- Michael Gratton, Software Architect.
