This is true for MSIE 3, but not 4, where paragraphs on both sides
are blue, but the text in the table is black regardless of whether
</p> occurs or not. However, MSIE 4 does seem to allow <table> in <p>.
In the following MSIE 4 renders the first table's text in fucshia and
the second in red (and the vertical space before the second table is
larger):
<html>
<head>
<style>
body { color: green }
p { color: blue }
table { color: red }
p table { color: fucshia }
</style>
<body>
this text not in any para, so green
<p>para the first: in blue
<table border=1><tr><td>one<td>two<td>three: in fucshia</table>
continuation of 1st para, so also blue.
<p>para the second: in blue</p>
<table border=1><tr><td>one<td>two<td>three: in red</table>
this text not in any para, so green
</html>
Netscape 4 pr 3 gets it totally wrong and renders the text immediately
_after_ the table fucshia and red respectively.
