What do you mean by "style elements implicitly > associated with the <p> tag" ? I mean the following. AFAIK, it is possible with CSS to specify that ordinary <body> text will be, say, Times New Roman 12pt single spaced while any <p> text will be Helvetica 14pt double spaced. In fact, if you specify any properties for <p> text with CSS, there will be a great chance of them different from the default properties of ordinary <body> text. By "implicitly" (perhaps a poorly chosen word) I meant that you write "<p>something" just to get a new paragraph, but get a different style for the text unexpectedly if you don't control the CSS. And vice versa, you may need to always use <p> if the CSS defines finer style for <p> text, but leaves ordinary text at its defaults. -- Yar
