Doesn't answer the question. Google search returns OP, which is Original Poster.

The question by OP was "What does <o:p> mean?"

According to the search I found a potential answer on Stack Overflow:

<o: ==""> Office namespace?
p => Paragraph?

From https://www.techrepublic.com/article/eliminate-clutter-in-microsoft-word-generated-html-files-with-the-office-2000-html-filter/ this appears to be a Office 2000 MSO tag to assist Office apps in general, and Word 2000 in particular, to import the file back into Word after having been exported to HTML.

Following has an answer that specifically docs the o:p

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7808968/what-do-op-elements-do-anyway[^]

That same answer also references the link you posted. That link explains the rational behind it all but I couldn't find the specific tag while the above (answer) explains it.

Last week, while at the gym. I decided I wanted to listen to this, so downloaded it to my phone from the copy I have on my OneDrive. I've still got the LP somewhere although it must be about 50 years old by now; I created digital copies of all my LPs years ago for personal use!

I still find it amazing how close some of this is to the orchestral versions!
