One of the things that Brett brings up in SF feature request 1900115 is
the issue of figures in div.
It appears that the following is valid in P4
<div>
<div><p></p></div>
<figure></figure>
</div>
but not in P5.
I just verified this using Pizza chef and Roma generated dtd's.
On the other hand, placing the figure before the div, as in
<div>
<figure></figure>
<div><p></p></div>
</div>
is valid in both P4 and P5.
The situation is similar with respect to numbered div's.
I know there are people that feel this is the correct behaviour with
paragraphs rather than figures. Has there been a conscious decision to
tighten the schemas in this respect, or could it be an oversight? Or am
I missing something?
