No, as you can confirm with a validator like WebTechs [1] or A Kinder, Gentler Validator [2]. If you use <P>Foo <TABLE>...</TABLE> </P> a validator will complain because the <TABLE> start-tag implicitly closes the preceding paragraph. >The reason I ask is that it does in Microsofts implementation and it doesn't >in Netscapes. Is there a definitive answer and if so, which of these two has >teh broken implementation? I assume you're talking about IE3, since my IE4 does not inherit styles from a paragraph into a table. If this is the case, it's a bug in IE3 that has been fixed in IE4. I believe that if you close all paragraphs explicitly (i.e., use </P>), then you will avoid this bug (though I can't check since I can't run IE3 and IE4 on the same computer :().
