Why not read the HTML 4.0 spec? It says:
9.3.1 Paragraphs: the P element
<!ELEMENT P - O (%inline;)* -- paragraph -->
<!ATTLIST P
%attrs; -- %coreattrs, %i18n, %events --

Start tag: required, End tag: optional
So it's optional. I don't use them </P> myself as it is not recommended
by many of the web designers here or in fact in any of the books I've
read.
I must say though that the css stuff is most excellent.
