The "Paragraphs" section (3.2.5.3) gives an interesting example where paragraphs can overlap when using an element, like <object>, that defines fallback content. To avoid the confusion of mixing the fallback paragraphs with the sentences of the surrounding paragraph in the case where the object resource is not supported, the spec suggests explicitly marking up the fallback paragraphs with <p> tags (which makes sense to me), but it also suggests marking the sentences before and after the object element as paragraphs. This latter suggestion doesn't make sense to me, because in the original example, those sentences constituted a single paragraph (since <object> is phrasing content). Wouldn't it be more correct to only mark the fallback paragraphs as paragraphs? That way, the sentences "You can play with my cat simulator." and "I'm quite proud of it." will remain a single paragraph when the object resource is supported. Cory
