Um, this is like moving around the C code because the compiler generates
invalid assembly code. Fix the compiler.
That said, we have the following in stylesheet.dsl:
;; Block elements are allowed in PARA in DocBook, but not in P in
;; HTML. With %fix-para-wrappers% turned on, the stylesheets attempt
;; to avoid putting block elements in HTML P tags by outputting
;; additional end/begin P pairs around them.
(define %fix-para-wrappers% #t)
So evidently someone thought of this before and put something in to
prevent some/many/most cases.
In general, I think the more efficient way to address this overall
problem is to run the resulting HTML through tidy and be done with it.
