There are a few cases where a lack of nesting should be considered an error. In particular,

SP must be a descendant of S
BR must be a descendant of HW
CW, RT, SIG, PN, and COL must be a descendant of PAGE

In addition, a document should either have all its SCENE tags nested in ACT, or not have any ACTs at all.

Interesting.

Are they required to be direct descendants or can there be tags between them? For example, is <S><I><SP>Rom.</SP>And all that Jazz!</I></SP> acceptable?

Yes, that's fine.
