Details

When a page is poorly written with hyperlink anchors outside of a paragraph 
tag, M14 doesn't show the text within the paragraph as being hyperlinked.

Sample HTML:

<a href="http://www.mozilla.org/">
<p>This is the text left unlinked</p>
</a>

I noticed this on the Baseball Prospectus website at www.baseballprospectus.com 
(links on the upper right), but I think this particular HTML error is present 
in the way some WYSIWYG editors write.
