Regression of bug 55295.  

Paragraphs inside DD after a nested DL are indented incorrectly (as if at next
level out).  A following nested DL is indented correctly even after paragraphs.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
View uploaded test case.
Actual Results:  
Paragraphs inside DD after a nested DL (see bold text in example) are indented
one level out from where they should be.

Expected Results:  
Paragraphs inside DD after a nested DL (see bold text in example) are indented
at same level as paragraphs before the nested DL.

Parser.  The inner <dl> is closing out the <dd> for some reason.  This is
patently incorrect.  We're taking this perfectly valid document and producing a
totally invalid DOM (with <p> as direct kids of <dl>, eg).

Any idea how many sites are affected by this behavior?

Comment 4

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Good question... We have probably at least half a dozen bugs on <dl> issues; I
don't know how many are due, at heart, to this problem.  I can try to figure it
out if you want....

The thing is, this _is_ valid markup... and not particularly bizarre valid
markup at that (eg all the closing tags are correctly in place).  We should
really try to get that right.
