It's just unpossible per the [url=http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/text.html#h-9.3.1]HTML4 specification of the P element[/url]. The ending tag of P is optionnal in HTML, plus Ps can not contain any other block level element ( including P of course ). Of course it is possible to do schabernack programmatically, but I fail to get the semantic of nested P elements. Plus the user agent will/should close the parent P the second you append a P in it. Therefore a page containing nested P elements should validate, and its DOM tree will feature sibling P elements.
