The example link in the given URL can be clicked anywhere from the end of the
text all the way to the end of the window.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the given URL.
2. Move the mouse over the link 'Some Link Here', and then to the right of the link.


Actual Results:  As you move the mouse to the right of the link, the hand cursor
remains and you can still click to activate the link.

Expected Results:  Clicking on the space to the right of link should do nothing,
and a normal arrow cursor should exist.

Example HTML is:

<ul> <a href="http://poison.ous.ca/"><li>Link Here</a> More Text</ul>

Um... your <a> starts before the <li>, so all of the <li> is inside the anchor.
 The <li> extends all the way across, hence so does the anchor.  <li> is a
block, <a> is an inline, we end up having to promote <a> to a block because
inlines cannot contain blocks.

Fixing your markup would be a good first step...

Marking invalid, since I feel that our rendering is correct given that markup.
