Yes, but the ZPT parser is still broken, however you look at it:

   It rejects <p><div></div></p> : correct
   It allows <span><div></div></span>: incorrect

I'm not familiar with the parser code but this leads me to wonder if the
first example is intentionally rejected or not.  I take it you're saying
it is intentional, and that the second example is the bug.

This thread's been enlightening w.r.t. HTML4.01, though.  It just goes
to show how irrelevant the standards are when it comes to practical web
programming - and this coming from someone who's interested in them.
