I believe that is incorrect. The following is a valid XHTML 1.0
Strict document:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
            "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <title>Block-level "ins"</title>
    </head>
    <body>

    <ins><i>Hello.</i></ins>

    </body>
    </html>

It passes through both BBEdit's syntax checker and the W3C's
validator.
