Neither. As it says in 8.1.2.5. Restrictions on content models [1]: # A p element must not contain blockquote, dl, menu, ol, pre, table, or ul # elements, even though these elements are technically allowed inside p # elements according to the content models described in this # specification. (In fact, if one of those elements is put inside a p # element in the markup, it will instead imply a p element end tag before # it.) The new content models only apply to the DOM and the XML serialisations, they can't be expressed in the HTML serialisation.
