If you're stuck with EPUB2, you're stuck with XHTML 1.1 too (or with whatever subset the reading application supports).
Anyway, about HTML 5:

The p element says (
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipa...he-p-element): "Content model: Phrasing content.", where "Content model" means (
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#concep...ontent-model): "A normative description of what content must be included as children and descendants of the element."
Whereas the div element says (
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipa...-div-element): "Content model: [...] If the element is not a child of a dl element: flow content."
So it seems to me there's still something special about the p element, it can only contain "phrasing content" and not "flow content", as the div element can.
