393: <li><a href="http://sims.example.com/watch?v=LYds5xY4INU">Use online simulator</a>

395: Alternatively, upgrade to the Mellblom Browser.

401:
402: <ol class="brief"><li>The paragraph that says "You can play with my cat
403: simulator. <i title="">object</i> I'm quite proud of it.", where
404: <i title="">object</i> is the <code><a href="text-level-semantics.html#the-object-element">object</a></code> element.</li>
405:
406: <li>The paragraph that says "To see the cat simulator, use one of
407: the following links:".</li>
408:
409: <li>The paragraph that says "Download simulator file".</li>
410:
411: <li>The paragraph that says "Use online simulator".</li>
412:
413: <li>The paragraph that says "Alternatively, upgrade to the Mellblom Browser.".</li>
414:
415: </ol><p>The first paragraph is overlapped by the other four. A user
416: agent that supports the "cats.sim" resource will only show the
417: first one, but a user agent that shows the fallback will
418: confusingly show the first sentence of the first paragraph as
419: if it was in the same paragraph as the second one, and will show
420: the last paragraph as if it was at the start of the second sentence
421: of the first paragraph.</p>
422:
423: <p>To avoid this confusion, explicit <code><a href="semantics.html#the-p-element">p</a></code> elements can be
