Invalid.

There's no such thing as a simple "block element" (I've made a couple
of postings on this in the last couple of weeks). There are elements
that are _members_of_ block, and elements that can _contain_ block. One
doesn't imply the other, and <p> is the obvious example. <p> acts like
block itself, but it can only contain inline.
