Quoting Liam's mail "The ending tag for p is optional (except in XHTML) and is implied by the following start-tag for p (or table, h1, div, etc.)." And you have a table enclosed within <p> . . . </p> tags (within a cell of a table). Interpreting what Liam says, when a parser finds a start tag that effectively terminates another tag it will count as an error the termination tag you have written wherever it is, which is what is happening at the end of your table within a table. In this case, the paragraph tags are redundant and should both be removed. In my browsers it looks exactly the same. Do that, and it validates.
