I understand both the questioner's and the responders points, but what is less clear is why the validator proposes the use of <P> tags at all; surely the recommendation to insert code would be less likely to cause errors and/or confuision if it restricted itself to recommending solely the <IMG ...> tag with a caveat about "in a suitable context" ?
