Unless you're like me with aspirations towards XHTML-compliance, then closing all of them is somewhat mandatory. :)

    Closing them is mandatory but you are welcome to use the <P /> form. =P Since the DTDs are very clear that the P element only contains %Inline content, any other block type element automatically closes the P element, just like HTML. And doing so keeps you out of trouble trying to do things like:
    <P>Blah blah <ul> <li />blarg <li />Blerg </ul> </P> <-- bad bad bad! P can't contain other blocks.
