<http://validator.w3.org/check?
uri=http%3A%2F%2Fdorward.me.uk%2Ftmp%2Fvalid11.xhtml>
<div> elements can contain <p> elements. (<p> elements cannot contain
<div> elements, but the validator success message does not suggest you
do that).

There might be a case for that, but only one of semantics (can two
words and a digit be considered a paragraph?), not of validity.
