Since the end tag for p elements is optional in HTML (and you are
serving your XHTML as text/html), and div elements are not allowed
inside paragraphs, the paragraph is closed by implication. As far as
the browser is concerned, the text following the div is not inside the
paragraph.

No, you can't.
