No, the structure of existing documents *would* change, not would need to change. The current definition says that the table is outside of the paragraph. The new definition would say that the table is within the paragraph. Someone would have to do a survey of browsers to see which support the correct behaviour and which support your proposed (currently wrong) behaviour. Another option would be an <inline> element that allowed you to embed block objects (like tables) in paragraphs without ending the implied paragraph. By default, then, the behaviour of tables would not change. Paul Prescod
