That's a very good point.  

I'd been thinking of the usage of <p> as inviolable.  This is my
practice, anyway.  But I can't find anything in the HTML 4.01 or the
XHTML 1.0 specification that says you _must_ contain a paragraph with
<p>.

Freed of that constraint (apparently?), your suggestion is elegant,
thanks.

Thanks.  That was next on my list of annoyances to figure out/find out
if it was already fixed. :)
