Fieldset isn't allowed inside paragraphs in XHTML 1.0 either. The only difference is that the error message emitted by the validator is confusing in a different way (i.e. suggesting that an object/ins/del/etc element is the solution). The problem comes from authors using the validator as a substitute for not knowing the language constructs they are using. Using XHTML 1.0 in manually edited documents is even more dubious, especially if the document is to be served as text/html. -- David Dorward <http://dorward.me.uk/>
