With Transitional doctypes, it _is_ allowed. It's not recommendable, but
allowed.

There's normally no reason to use "loose" text, i.e. text not wrapped in a
block-level container. If it's a paragraph, make it a <p> element. If some
other block level element applies, logically, use it. If there is no
suitable semantic markup, use <div>, which means just a block level wrapper.
You can then use a Strict doctype in order to test, using a validator, that
you have really followed all the Strict rules.
