--------------- END bug.html -----------------------

Actual Results:  
before first li element there is a big space
very huge computed height (1.2324e+006px) on li element.
can be seen in DOM Inspector

Expected Results:  
list should flow normaly, second li must be just after the first one.

Note the space '<li><a href="#">Visión de Futuro</a> </li>' between '</a>' and
'</li>'.
If removed display is right. The same if 'text-align: right;' is removed or if
'ó' from 'Visión' is deleted.
Attached file Testcase
Submitters example code
This WFM using Mozilla nightly 2004010608 on Windows 2000
Worskforme as well, on Linux trunk build 2004-01-04-08.  Marking so, since 1.4
is pretty old.  Please reopen if this is reproducible in a recent build.

Attached file submitters testcase
the first testcase starts:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>

Submitter´s testcase starts:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-15"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

and they are displaying differently, 2nd testcase shows a single blank line,
not a huge gap, with current nightly. I will retest with Mozilla 1.4.1
In standards mode you will get the 1em top margin on the list.
Just tested with Mozilla 1.4.1, same behaviour as in a current nightly:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031008
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040108

testcase #1 renders in quirksmode, testcase #2 in standards compliance mode,
showing the 1em top margin on the list.
