[ZPT] Why does this cause a page template to be invalid? (longish)

[seb bacon]

Don't know what's going on there, but I reduced it to a simpler test
case:

<p>
  <div>
     
  </div>
</p>

If you replace the <div>s with inline elements like <span>s, it works;
if you use block elements like <table>, it doesn't.

I wonder if this is a buggy version of strict XHTML checking?  You're
not meant to put block elements inside span elements, IFAIK.
