Mysterious insertion of paragraph tag (in DOM only, not in code) inside spanMysterious insertion of paragraph tag (in DOM only, not in code) inside span

Searched words:
drupal paragraph tags in date field output
CCK date field output
CCK date field node template
browser inserting p inside span
.section-aboutus .date-display-single {
color:#2d95c1;
}
.section-aboutus .date-display-single p { margin:0px; padding:0px; }
Can that second CSS rule call the p tag into being?
Definitely one of the freakiest things I've seen. The source code contained no p tag within the span. The code shown by Firebug and Safari's inspector both had the the paragraph tag.
Actual source code:
<p>Tri Star Pictures <span class="date-display-single">2009</span></p>
Browser's interpretation as revealed by Firebug and Inspector:
<p>
"Tri Star Pictures "
<span class="date-display-single">
<p>2009</p>
</span>
</p>
(inline fields don't go through the field template, so not quite sure where to theme them)

Ended up stripping span tags from around year output (strip_tags right in the print statement) to get around the weirdest HTML/CSS bug I've ever seen where paragraph tags are actually being inserted, unasked, into the DOM.
