For me too, for several levels of nesting.

</P> tags are optional according to 
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/text.html#h-9.3.1 and for ease of 
use I do not use them either.

I tried, but the validator barfed on all kinds of valid stuff even as HTML 
2.0 because I do not specify an Encoding (I think). Time to update my 
generator though.

But, this does not answer why Konqueror barfs when no other browser does. I 
extracted part of the page to
          http://www.bss.ab.ca/jerome/pickup/testkonqueror.html 
to try to localize the problem. I have not been able to yet, but one thing 
I did find is that if I put a <P> right after the <body> tag then the font 
size and initial bold setting are ignored for the first three paragraphs.

And through all this I still cannot get Arial to map to a sans font, even 
after diddling /etc/fonts/local.conf.
