As can be seen in the attached test page (I apologize for the banner ad) ,
Mozilla renders invalid tags. I have tried this in both "quirk" and strict mode
and it occurs in both methods.

I hope this is fixed in the next version. I love how far Mozilla has come.

Also, requiring someone to register for a user is a bit onerous for just
reporting a single bug.

Scott.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load http://dsn.itgo.com/vo/test.html
2. Watch it and love it.

Actual Results:  Rendered invalid HTML as whitespace.

Expected Results:  The browser should have ignored the tag completely.

<html>
<body>
  <table>
    <tr>
      <td>
        Not indented.
      </td>
    </tr>
  </table>
  <table>
    <tr>
      <badtag>
      <td>
        Not indented?
      </td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</body>
</html>
Confirming on 2001071304-trunk (w32), but this looks like a dup of bug 66468 to me.
We're probably putting the tag in the content model and then handling it as
unknown content within a table.
