This is not an error. HTML rules allow the omission of the end tag </p>. 
It is implied e.g. when a <p> tag is encountered and there is an open p 
element.

This does not apply in XHTML, but the W3C validator does not support 
XHTML5 (XHTML serialization of HTML5). It is supported by 
http://validator.nu - but that validator, like the HTML5 validation part 
of the W3C validator, is experimental software. In this case it gives an 
error message, but a rather cryptic one (and a simple error message 
about missing xmlns attribute; that attribute is required in the <html> 
tag in XHTML).
