Oops. Right. HTML5 validation could probably be modified to accommodate various checks rather flexibly. But since empty p elements are not forbidden or even discouraged in HTML5, this would be a new kind of a diagnostic - surely not an error, and probably not even a warning (to avoid confusion with warnings that directly relate to what HTML5 says). -- Yucca, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
