I would agree.

I don't find the error message misleading. P's content model in the
DTD you are validating against does not permit ULs, so the UL
implicitly ends the paragraph, leaving a P end-tag with no
corresponding paragraph. That is an error in your markup, not a bug in
the validator.

I would agree, but HTML offers no way to do that.
Visually, you could style paragraphs with a text-indent and style
paragraphs that should, structurally, be continuations of the previous
paragraph with no indent. For example,
<P>foo</P>
<UL>
<LI>item 1</LI>
<LI>item 2</LI>
</UL>
<P class="continue">bar</P>
with the following rule sets:
P { text-indent: 3em }
P.continue { text-indent: 0 }
More extreme, you could modify the DTD to allow ULs inside Ps. You
could then of course no longer truthfully claim conformance to HTML
since you would strictly speaking be using a proprietary markup
notation, although still serving your documents as text/html probably
isn't a cardinal sin.
