As far as I can see, all the supporting examples have been provided by yourself, and none of them are conformant to basic typography. (This is given away partly by your starting the supposedly resumed outer paragraph with "....".)

So if <p>s inside <p>s are allowed, I think it should be only for <p lang="en-hixie">. -- Matthew Thomas http://mpt.net.nz/
