Based on personal experience, having <p> inside <li> also greatly
reduces your CSS complexity; if your formatting rules can assume that
all significant narrative is inside a <p>, that?s a good thing.  Plus,
it bothers me that if you have a multi-paragraph list item, you use
<p>s, but you can leave it out otherwise.

But, this is not a matter of life or death.
