It's not about DOM - the validator knows nothing about any DOM, it
operates on markup only, and it does not analyze JavaScript code in any
way, except as character data, still less interpret it.
It's the end tag </p> that causes the problem. You need to use e.g.
"<p>What is new?</" + "p>"
so that the tag gets broken (but the pieces are put together when the
JavaScript code is executed).
The validator FAQ has an indirect entry on this - it points to
http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/problems.html#script
(which suggests another workaround).
