I agree these ought to be block elements.

I actually think this is an excellent model and would be a useful addition to the spec. Note that using the qa wrapper means you can have multiple questions with 1 answer if you like, or multiple answers to one question - both are valid cases and here, semantically valid. You could unfortunately end up with multiple of both, which a confused HTML'er may do - is it possible to specify in the DTD that it's 1+ of one but 1 of the other OR 1 of one and 1+ of the other?
This would provide a lot of interesting opportunities for UAs, including easily "Googling" the answers to questions, and validating a document to find there's a question you haven't answered ("Error: qa element without at least 1 ans element").
