Why not? I could imagine it turning into a frame around
the contained text.

If I have understood the "HTML DTD Reference (Level 2)" at
http://www.hal.com/products/sw/olias/Build-html/t0jrrYBc2I9X3cS.html
(!!) then neither is valid. This document explicitly shows what may
be contained, and what it is allowed in content of..
You can find a number of authoritative HTML 2.0 documents at
http://www.hal.com/products/sw/olias/Build-html/buhC2XBDmmF84aK.html
which in turn can be found at http://www.hal.com/~markg/WebTechs/
where they present the famous and excellent HTML Validation Service.
In general I'd like to remind you that you can find such WWW developer
resources at http://www.charm.net/~web/ and if not then please let
me know..

I don't think one can expect a general rule of thumb to exist.
I have made the mistake of extrapolating behaviour from one HTML
element to another, only to find I was plain wrong. I don't think
this meant I was (totally) stupid or that Dan botched it; rather
that these things are subtle beyond simple rules of thumb..
Best thing, I've found, is to use their validator; it's at
