My personal opinion is that it is not a requirement for text to be contained in at least a paragraph element. My thinking is that a paragraph element conveys that its contents are all part of a paragraph--and that might not be the information or relationship that the content author wants to convey.

This is definitely a good question since it shows you are trying not to make assumptions--and it is always good to think about our assumptions.

Thanks for asking this question.
