This model seems to fall down under anything but demonstration purposes:

  <p>This is a paragraph <a href="">which can't contain a div</a></p>
  <div>DOM model is now broken since div can't go in p.</div>

To which you'd respond:

  <div class="link-with-tip">
    <p>This is a paragraph <a href="">which can't contain a div</a></p>
    <div>DOM model is now fixed.</div>
  </div>

To which I'd reply:

  <div class="link-with-tip">
    <p>This is a paragraph <a href="">which can't contain a div</a>
    and here's <a href="">second link</a> and a <span>third</span>.</p>
    <div>DOM model is now broken.</div>
    <div>Without IDs, which one is</div>
    <div>which?</div>
  </div>
