The nesting scenario you describe is indeed non conformant (as explained in
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#prohibitions ) but if you look at
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.9 in the XHTML specification, you will see an
explanation of why constraints regarding *any* nesting depth cannot be
expressed in the formal grammar (DTD) used by XHTML 1.0, and therefore it can
not be (in)validated.

I am setting this issue as "Later", knowing that this is the job for a
conformance checker, not a mere validator.
