Your question has more to do with HTML than CSS -- asking if using a
paragraph tag is okay as long as it works -- but I'll respond anyway.

There are two different kind of "it works" in our business. There's "it
works for me" and there's "it works across browsers".

An important point about standards is to come up with a way that your code
not only works across browsers but will continue to work even as browsers
change. The notion is that if you write compliant code, and the community
develops compliant browsers, everything will continue to work with little or
no disruption.

So the important question is not whether your approach works but whether
your approach complies with the standards. I believe that was the purpose
behind referring you to the tutorial. If your only benchmark is "it works"
then the tutorial is indeed irrelevant. The developer is free to code as he
pleases, and the visitor is free to retreat in frustration. :)

Why would I do that, if what I've done works. ...This basically harkens back
