All of the text on http://www.somethingawful.com/articles.php?a=440&p=2 is bold
in Mozilla. The culprit is the invalid HTML "<p<strong>". IE, Opera, and
Netscape 4 all ignore the tag, but Mozilla treats it as a <P> tag followed by a
<STRONG> tag.

Correct parsing is determined by the W3C specification, not by what other
browsers do.
This is a valid, albeit narrowly supported, HTML shortcut.
Recommend INVALID.

Agreed, this is a legitimate use by the SGML rules governing HTML. Teh SMGL
mastar JeffK could have told you that. ;-)

From the dup: if a server strips out <> but not < by itself, this can lead to
XSS problems (testcase: http://smgl.positivism.org/music/indexvuln.html).
The corresponding view-source bug is bug 70918.
