The question, as asked, is not about CSS at all in any meaning, so
it's off-topic.
The construct that causes the validation problem has a considerable
CSS impact, though:

Although the construct is allowed in HTML5 and widely supported by
browsers, it has its share of problems in rendering. How do you make
it _look_ like a link, and make it look like _one_ link? If we can't
handle that, users may not notice that there is a link, or they may
think there are several links present and they try each of them and
get disappointed or confused. Moreover, browsers don't render such a
link as a block element by default, so e.g. a border set for it may
look all too "interesting".
My current idea of handling this is
a) suppress underlining (as it would visually suggest the presence of
_several_ links)
b) draw a colored border, letting browsers use the link colors fot it
(as per some overall link color settings or browser defaults).
This requires a class attribute, say class="block", for such "block
links", and something like
.block * { text-decoration: none; }
.block { display: block; display: table-cell; border: solid thin;
padding: 0.2em 0.3em; }
Any better ideas?
(Some vertical margins inside the element might need tuning too. You
probably don't what the default top margin for the heading element or
the default bottom margin for <p>.)
Thank you for your reply. I had removed any decorations from it so it
didn't look like multiple links.
I'll try your solution.
Thanks again.
regards
Martin
